l42A1

hey guys looking at building a l42a1 replica just wondering if anyone knows how to do the timber? is there anywhere that offers the top wood?


cheers

EFD Rifles used to offer the handguard

Aren't EFD Rifles defunct since Geoffrey Organ died, or is the Australian connection still trading?

Are you going to have this rifle chambered in .308 or .303? In Australia I don't see any in .308. You reckon you want to make your own scope mounts and everything too? Compared to those things making a stock is something you could take to a stock maker or just search for spares or repro.

I think it was Colin Moon (C Moon & Co) who did the wood for EFD (and supplied replacements to the MoD in the 80's I believe) but I'm sure I read somewhere that Colin sadly passed way a few years ago.

If you check out the Milsurps Knowledge library and make use of the search engine, you should find lots of helpful info on the woodwork and I seem to recall that a member here posted about doing a similar conversion, using one of the little green S&B 6x42 scopes.

Yes Sadly Colin has left us all. He was brilliant at doing our Police Enforcer woodwork, but especially brilliant for all things Parker Hale.

cheers for the replies sent a text to tbone hopefully he can hook me up with propper timber

Fultons of Bisley have handguards.

Colin Moon died a few years ago, & was the person that Geoffrey Organ used to get his woodwork made for him. Geoffrey died last year from leukaemia but his partner Paul Panagi has continued the business though under the slightly different name of 'Enfield Guns'. Anybody wanting what EFD used to provide might do well to google 'Enfield Guns'.

Thank you. I was aware of Paul Panagi and Enfield Guns, but was not aware that this was the follow on from EFD.
