jmoore, Try a small screw with a buttplate on that top screw hole in your stock, see if it is tight or loose ?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Update: borrowed a screw from a complete Springfield M1 icon

rifle that was in the vicinity.

Nice tight fit:

It is difficult to understand why the recess around the screw was drilled, some support is also lost around the screw too. The flange on the top screw hole of the buttplate will not extend that deep into the stock to require a recess. Some stocks could have been unintentionally drilled this way (I thought it was unique only to the M14 icon

) too. Photo shows an early no-trap Winchester stock that has an extra milling cut in the trigger guard recess which was unintentional.

Do you suppose a wandering wood shaper bit did the extra cut? Bad Monday or hasty Friday?
