Lee Enfield Aluminum stock

[tbonesmith]

How about this for a scenrio:

A professional pattern maker who happens to like tinkering with guns, makes a high quality mould/ sand casting for the manufacture of some aluminium forends for No1 Mk111's. He skillfully knocks out a few thinking he might be able to sell them or use them for target shooting or that they's be ideal for hunting deer in the highly temperature variable wilds of Canada, and he just happened to have some Ross buts lying around or maybe he preferred them for some reason and put them to use.

I don't know anything about them, but skilled people can make excellent products that would appear to have come from a "line". Especially moulded products.

Just my 2 cent and nothing more.

Would guess further that the scenario would most likely take place soon after WWII. Aluminum was now available in great quantities and for cheap. Think of all the other aluminum products that came and went with the great aircraft meltdowns.
