Desportizing a SMLE and can't find a forestock

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

I hear that mounting the forestock is supposed to be rather complicated. . . can anyone talk me through it?

Use the search function to find an article by Peter Laidler about forend fitting. I printed it out and it was invaluable (along with a bit of patcience and luck) in my first attempt at fitting a forend.
