Info on some No 4 woodwork

[Lee Enfield]

I have a set of woodwork for a number 4.
I am trying to find out where it came from, and any other info.

The metal parts all say CE1967.
The wood is pretty obviously unused, with no marks on it.

Can anyone provide info?

Thanks

CE1967 was said to be South African.

Forends and handguards were around approx 20 years ago

Here's another thread we had some years back about the exact same question... https://www.milsurps.com/showthread....59007&p=383239

That’s what I wanted to know!

The wood is currently on a 1943 Faz, with a 2 groove barrel. As noted with a Maltby milled trigger guard. Unfortunately the bolt is from a number 5.
I wonder what the wood (and rifle) are worth.

Presumably the bolt is non-numbers-matching.
What makes you think the bolt is from a No5 ?

If you are considering that it is a No5 because the bolt handle has a hole in it, so did some manufacturers No4 bolts - the difference is the size of the hole.


The NoS CE1967 furniture was available in vast numbers some 15 years ago (in the UK) I had a few 100 of complete sets of colour/grain matching with L length butts, they were packed in '3 foot cubed 'pallet boxes' and there were 1000's at a disposal sale.
If only I knew then what I know now !!

I actually sold the last 4 sets to a guy in the Klondike last year.

This was one of the last ones :
