Spoke to Brian recently myself, and enjoyed doing so.
Looks like a GOOD first rifle. My first Enfield was a No4 Mk2 made at Fazakerley and imported by Interarms of Alexandria, VA. Yours appears to be a Mk1 made at Fazakerley and imported by the same.

You can probably restore that stock without removing any material, maybe some very light cleaning and restorative oil. Right fellows?
