Enfield MK III* Possible Re-Arsenal to India?

[CINDERS]

This is how Ken Davis Master stock maker repaired the draws area to my T as it was completely & utterly knackered like the O P's he has done this to quite a few No 1's & 4's like this.
I did not want to lose the bottom wood as it was original to the 1944 rifle so gave him the go ahead.
It may seem abhorrent to some but not as abhorrent to me as losing that piece which has been a part of that rifle for 73 years it is aircraft grade aluminium with a 2 pack bonding agent has threaded bolts holes into which the bolts screw into it via the tie plate, it has not affected the rifle at all it groups very well at a 100yds.
Well I cannot shoot it that well but my friend got an all touching 3 shot clover leaf so I guess it works and by the time my son gets it these things will be scarcer than ash trays on motor bikes.
