Hello,
I finally completely disassembled my Lee Enfield No. 1 Mk III* dated 1915. When I removed the barreled assembly, a small piece of wood dropped out. Upon close examination, I do not believe it broke as I was disassembling the rifle. The broken edges of the piece in question appear to be as dark and oil stained as the area it came from. My question is how to repair this? Will wood glue hold fast to the oily surfaces? I did clean the piece as best I could with mineral spirits as well as the area on the stock. Or should I use a different type of adhesive? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I will post my story as well as more pics as I would like to know more about where this rifle may have been.
Thanks,
Chip
