I ordered one for a friend, 6 months ago or so, and i looked at it quickly when i received it.
Very nice wood (not fancy) and well made.
I believe he told me he had very little fitting to do.
I think these originate from Minelli SpA. This company is known for selling 1903(A3) stocks to various retailers, so why not also 1917 stocks, especially if they mention they come from Italy..
Edit: check out this site here ... Minelli replica - Minelli Group
I have used Minelli stocks on A3's. Very good fit, only minor relief on the sides of the tang. They, to me, are much better than Boyd's.

Thank You for the feedback everyone.
Their website doesn't show LE stocks?
I suspect they make what they used to make for the Italian or other European governments, and no more.
I was not under the impression the Model of 1917 is a Lee Enfield rifle ;).
Seriously though: them not listing this on their website doesn't mean they don't make it. Seems they have a production facility in the US as well. Maybe done there and therefore not listed on the Italian website?
Sorry, missed the 1917 bit. Would be nice if they did No1/4/5 stocks too.
Lee Enfield Stocks
Seems this company can offer what you are looking for.
