Had a go at the 'Ishy' problem, those screws, they look so awful, unlike the women that come out of India.

Put a 3/16" brass threaded rod through the hole and an enfield bayonet nut on either end countersunk into the wood, looks great and matches the reinforcing strip and pin at the back of the fore stock.

I have seen a few SMLE's that have pieces of copper screwed to the drawers face where you have used timber to repair. Was this just a target rifle solution?

No; in the case of Lithgow rifles using Coachwood fore-ends this was standard factory installation.
