    Thanks tbone. I will get a replica cheekpiece one day but the price of a small bit of carved wood puts me off for the moment. The sporter wood is comfy and does the job until then.
    It shoots well, very well until it warms up and strings a little. Once I get all the stuff I need together and done I will work out why !

    Today 1 set of pads arrived. I only got one to try them out. If they are rubbish I don't want to be stuck with two. If they are good then I will get another set.
    What I did forget was the screws. I need some 4BA screws.. anyone know where I can get them that's in Aus or will send here?
    Some pics of them.

    DS solutions in the UKicon did the cheekpiece and were around £20 or less for walnut or beech, but I tried the website and cant access it, also tried the number I had and is not in use, so dont know whats happened to them. (will get back to you on that one)

    If you want to knock one up yourself can give you a few dimensions if you want, these are taken of a repro one, and one which I dont know the origins of, am sure there will be a drawing out there somewhere.

    Just glad your using a bubba as a starting block, makes me cringe when I see a nice original No4 being hacked up when there are thousands of sporterized Enfields out there to work on.
