    APEX Gun Parts in the USAicon have 'loads' of 'new old stock' original No5 Butt rubbers.
    The problem is that as we are in the UKicon we are not allowed to access their website as they haven't agreed to meet the GDPR privacy regulations.

    Maybe if you ask nicely one of our US cousins could source for you ?

    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    Solar power.

    Wrap it in paper towels, place in a black trash bag, and leave on your dashboard while the car is outside.

    After a couple hours check and the progress changing towels as needed.

    I messaged my mate in California, and he sent a screen shot back confirming he had the right thing and he's now ordered one for me.
