    I know he supplied the forend, but as far as I know the butts came directly into PH from Sile (Italyicon)

    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...

    Alan,
    The job I remember was given to Moon, where he got the finished job done who cares where he outsourced the work to, and I wouldn't blame him for using outside sources too, however, he did a lot of work for the MoD in the post war era, making the Enforcer hand guards, & re-runs of cheekpieces for the L42’s & any odd reserve stored 4T’s that needed them too, which is confirmed in historical documents.
    Sad loss the company and he's been dead 10 years plus.

    Thanks for that, but my point was that PH purchased the butts directly from SILE, and were shipped to PH they (apparently) never went near Brighton, so I wonder if that 'anti-slip' was just a special one off for 'a mate'
