Holy smokes. Seems I picked the wrong time to go away for a few days. I guess I'll start from the top and work down.

Englishman: I'd trying to be gentle with the wood in case I can use it down the track on another rifle. I have plenty of Enfields missing wood. There was actually some wires threaded through the stock and over the rear sights for some reason. I am quite certain the barrel is Lithgowicon 'H' barrel from the other rifles I have with such a barrel.

Salt Flat: Yes I want to learn some wood-work for this gun and future projects, but have absolutely no experience. Do you have any tips for fixing the butt-stock? Any tips maybe for making my own fore-end even? I can hardly even see what you have done in your repairs they are so neat.

Pictures are coming tomorrow. Been busy with a No.4 today, which needs even more attention tomorrow -_-.
