Thanks to all who replied. I may swap the plates since neither are matching rifles anyway. Thank you for your help.

I probably should have posted this in the Restorer's Corner.

Hello, I have received all of my bits and pieces to begin my No4 Mk1 restoration from a sporterized rifle. My question concerns the dimensions of the butt stock relative to the butt plate. In the...

Is finding a walnut forend in comparable condition out of the question? I may just look for the beech counterparts as I have a Savage No4 that has lighter colored wood and I prefer that over the dark...

I picked up a sporter job No4 Mk1 at a pawn shop a few years ago to restore because no metal parts were touched and the bore is pristine. While at a gun show I came across a table covered with...

I should have posted this in the book reviews. I apologize!:)

I would like to ask your suggestions for books pertaining to British and Commonwealth weapons of World War II or possibly just Enfield rifles. For instance I have a book titled "US Infantry Weapons...

I really do need to find someone locally if possible to do it for me. I have a JJCo No.1 Mk3 with the coachwood stock that needs the recoil draws replaced with hardwood and the No.4 that needs to be...

So Mk 2 wood will fit a Mk 1 just fine? That opens up a few more options. Thanks!

Can anyone please tell me of a place that sells these stock sets? Everywhere I've searched has been out of stock or costs as much as I paid for the rifle! Its been sporterized, but only the butt and...

I didn't know it was a Wolff spring until I talked to the builder last week. All that head banging for something so simple. Now I know!

UPDATE: I talked with the person who built the rifle and he suggested trimming coils off of the main spring. It is a Wolff spring and he said that he believes they are made longer and with a higher...

Alright, I got around to taking the rifle apart through the info in Jollygreenslugs youtube video. Now I have to decide what I am going to do about the recoil area of the stock as it does not have...

I completely disassembled, cleaned, and lubed the rifle following the CMP website for lubrication. The bolt will travel rearward with enough force to eject the empty case 4 to 6 feet away from my...

The rifle has never functioned correctly since I've had it. In my efforts to find the problem I found the cracked gas plug. I replaced it to no avail. Maybe a marginal improvement since it cycled...

I will have to get registered with the CMP. I bought the Federal ammo as a crutch to get by until I begin to reload. It is hard to determine what the condition of the op rod because of the...

Thank you for the links. That said, the ammunition sold for the M1 Garand is not suitable for use in the Garand? I will say that the recoil felt different at times with it being the heaviest on the...

I have an M1 that I bought at a gun show (I know) that has been rebarreled with a Criterion barrel and completely reparkerized with new wood that fits nice and tight. The first few rounds through...

Thanks for the welcome, smellie! Do you neck size or full length resize your cases? I have begun my build up of reloading equipment and literature, but I keep spending all of my money on surplus...

Thanks for the info, I will search the for the inserts. i noticed 42 on the stock and 45 on the ring.

This will make a good companion to a well used No.1 as a contrast to the use these rifles endure through their life as service rifles. Cost was less than 400 USD. I'm not sure whether to shoot this...

I passed this one today at a gun show and had to take it home! I am new to collecting surplus rifles and the Enfield is no exclusion. I started with a No 4 Mk1* at a pawn shop and this is my second,...

I am new to the Enfield and wanted to make sure this was normal! Doesnt it seem to be an excessively wide bearing surface? Is this equal to what would be in a 4 or 5 groove barrel in terms of surface...

I have a No 4 Mk1* 86C serial Savage made in '43 I believe with a two groove barrel. I have yet to fire this weapon. Upon initial cleaning and inspection I noticed that the brush nor the Jag/patch...
