I'm currently restoring a LEC MK1 from a sporter. Luckily, none of the original parts except for the wood was ****ed with, of course this includes the forend hardware. Luckily, Ross Rifle Restoration offers a stock set for these rifles, as I'm nowhere near skilled enough to fabricate one myself.
Good luck with your rifle.
Hello, would upi be able to provide a contact or link to Ross Rifle Restoration please as I also have a sporter carbine to restore. Cheers. Martin.
