Springfield Sporters, (ssporters.com) in Pennsylvania, will have a number of Australian and British SMLE parts and they're fairly inexpensive. FA is the Forbes feeder factory, OA is the Orange factory. BA is for Bathurst. "Slaz 44" on the handguard is the Slazengers sporting goods company, part made in 1944. I think that by 1944 Orange was doing SMLE rifle assembly, rather than Lithgow proper. Looks like a great project!

I've contacted SSPORTERS and they don't ship to Canada I've found most parts on Ebay, but mostly looking for parts stamped OA to match the buttplate stamp.

They don't ship to Canada?! Why, those....! I see their prices have climbed some, too. As far as parts, OA, FA, BA, and WA (Wellington feeder factory) marked are all good to go on your rifle. Best of luck!

Some one you know who has a friend with a friend (who knows what they are looking for and at with condition etc) that lives near the parts seller may pick you up a set of furniture and post it to you privately or is that not allowed.
Brian Dick has a good handle on posting stuff he may have a set of woods and bits you require, here is the link to his business web site good luck https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&r...gEfOrErbPh3D1Q
