I have a 1950 LB that came with a "S" short buttstock. I normally like to leave things alone and not swap parts on such a well fitted rifle. However, I am tall (6'-2") and would much prefer to have "L" long stock for shooting. I recently found a correct unissued Canadianicon Arsenal marked "L" buttstock. I have found a lot of good info here about fore-end fitting on No4s, but not much on the specifics of buttstock replacement.

I guess my first question. Is this worth the fuss and effort? Second how hard is this to do? I know the forends take a lot of skill and experience to do properly. I have the tools to remove the bolt and the bolt protrusion gage. Is this all I need? Finally If the process is explained here on the forum could someone point me to the write post?
