No 4 Mk1* stock repair

Squared & drilled dowell holes then flushed with acetone and used a syringe to insert Titebond water proof wood glue. Used three clamps to bind things up then glued & drove home the pegs and let it sit for about 24 hours unclamped cut the dowels flush a dab of stain and here you have it. Hopefully good enough to prevent further damage upon firing.
Thanks to all for all the input.

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.

Good job, over time keep an eye on the crack if it starts to spread you may have to relieve it and peg the side, probably not but,,,,

BTW the draws looked good and fitment seemed proper but there were also two cracks in the rear face of the forend that were glued up before the glueing/doweling in the side. I will be interested to see how the repairs perform under fire.
