    I had to replace the pad on my enfiel a couple of years ago. I had to buy an oversize one install it and mark what had to come off to make it fit. I used a belt sander to take off the excess. I bought the pad from midway-usa. I went with a 1" pad and really like it. For coatings it depends on the look you like and how much effort you want to spend. For a traditional look you really can't go wrong with tung oil or BLOicon (boiled linseed oil). They are easily applied and you rub on some new if you scratch the stock latter on. I use BLOicon since I have several old and antique military arms.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    elmapad,

    Your rifle is easily identifiable as being one of those sold by Kleins Sporting Goods of Chicago in the 1960's. They must have sold huge numbers of them as they are commonly seen on WWW gun auction sites and pawn shops. They had a "blind-box" magazine that eliminated the floor plate and front portion of the trigger guard. They sold for about $89.00 in the 1960's.
    I have always wondered what company actually did the sporterization work for Klein's. Must have been a very large production run.

    Wish I had read this post earlier, I would have pointed out the butt pad is a custom fit part which you would've wanted to keep intact.
    You can fit a new one by using a jig or the" enthusiastic amateur " way by scribing the back of a new one and using a belt sander to slowly sand your stocks profile, the pads are designed to be sanded It sounds hard but it's not just time consuming, it'll look better too.
    Of course you'll have to address the striped holes which is simple.
