    Same here, I can't say they don't exist, but I never encountered one, perhaps they weren't able to get the tooling? LOL.

    Peter's assessment is probably the correct one, and really, a Lee Enfield, is a Lee Enfield, for a Khyber pass "craftsman" there would be no reason to hammer out a different version of the same gun you have already been banging out for decades. They probably have their stone dies and scrap oil drums cut to just the right specification to bang out a perfect No.1 rear sight protector in only a handful of blind hits.

    Each stock is carefully crafted from only the finest pallet grade timber, and stained to beautiful finish with very best of used Mahindra tractor oils.

    There is a whole tooling up factor to consider, LOL.
