    No.1 MKIII fore stock.

    Original fore stock for a No.1 MkIII with and without the magazine cut off are similar?

    You can see that there are obvious differences. What are you actually asking us to comment on?

    Buster95: I suspect what you're asking is if a MkIII forend will fit on a MkIII* barreled action (or vica-versa) and the answer is yes. No bedding details changed with the transition to III*.

    I'm interested in a sporter with the cut off slot in the receiver but without the cut off, if both "variation" will fit no problem I will use what I will find, I know fore stock are harder to find these days.
