Reproduction SMLE stock

It's certainly possible - in my experience, the problem isn't getting them into Australia (At least in Queensland, the import paperwork is fairly straightforward to obtain) - it's getting them out of whichever country they're currently in. Shipping firearms internationally costs a lot of money and the export paperwork can be troublesome, depending on the country.

Indeed. Finding a good quality Lithgow overseas seems to be fairly straight forward, but the cost of getting it imported and jumping through the paperwork will push the price up by 2 or 300%

The purpose of showing what I have made is not to try to show off but to, hopefully show and to motivate other Forum Members of what is possible with basic tools and skills.

Handguard's are not a problem. Find a forearm that it in good condition is a problem. When Springfield Sporters, numrich etc had all those indian and british DP's timber for sale, I was spiting chips as they refused to export even when splitting it up over multiple purchases would get each package under $100

Has anyone ever looked into seeing whether or not it's possible to modify a No4 Fore-end into a SMLE Fore-end? It may seem unthinkable to some but I do wonder if it's possible; it would require some extra wood grafting onto the front of the No4 Fore-end plus some other alterations.
