Lee Enfield MLE sporter

[jmoore]

The Monte Carlo stock just looks a little "club-y". But maybe lose the cheekpad and the white line spacers and it wouldn't be too bad. L-E sporters of that vintage usually look quite slim. But it's easier to trim the wood down than add it back!

At least it's useable.

I like the wood as is, I think the white line spacers make it look "distinguished"...

It seems to be for sale. But a bit of a bother as y'all are well separated!

I've pulled white line spacers from a number of stocks. As long as you make sure to sacrifice the white portion, it works out generally well. Sometimes a bit of creativity and/or well applied brutishness is required. Start with a rubber mallet. Smallish. "Pop!" Fine chisel is helpful, too.
