Depends what they are sellign now. If Indian made 2A1 wood, it's not proper. I haven;t bought one there in about 4 years, so I can;t comment further. At the time it was RSAF Enfield unissued Walnut, but I imagine that wood is long gone...

Ok what do you mean?
Indian 2A1
RSAF
EFD
I'm new to this all i want is a set of wood for a #1 MkIII*.
Fill me in on the lingo...
OK,
the Indian 2A1 was a 1960's produced rifle in 7.62 Nato that outwardly resembles a No.1MkIII* Lee Enfield. There are differences in the stock though. The mag well inletting is different, it's not the right type of wood (mahogany as opposed to walnut or beech), there's a big ugly cross-bolt in it, often called an "Iahapore Screw", and it has a No.4Mk1 style tie plate at the back of the forestock. Many dealers will sell you a 2A1 stock as a No.1MkIII* b/c the 2A1 stocks are commonly available at the moment, but it's NOT the correct part.
RSAF = Royal Small Arms Factory.
Enfield = one of the RSAF's.
the left one is from my #1 MkIII*
the right one is one i bought look at the shoulder on the right and the stock bolt platehttps://www.milsurps.com/images/imported/deleted.gif
by the way see a #6 or a 9 on the left unit???
one on the right apears to be an Ishy stock
