About 20 years ago I obtained a No1 MkIII* (* cancelled) with original stock set. The metal parts were matching and in good condition (possibly after an old rebuild) but the wood had deteriorated/disintegrated to the point where the rifle could not be safely fired. I obtained a NOS Indian stock set from Numrich for about $65USD. The forend was marked DP but had never before been fitted to a rifle. It took many hours of fitting just to get the wood mounted and I know it would never pass muster with a British
armourer. Your mileage may vary. I wouldn't attempt it again.
