    it's a cross between a wotsit and a thinggy

    I love it, LOL.

    .22 sounds good. I'll list it like that when I sell it and wait for return fire.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It's an OVER finished No8 fore-end because the No8 had a big round hole where the magazine well is instead of a magazine well......... Most strange!

    Possibly an "after" market set of wood for one of the hundreds of No 4 conversions done in the early 1970's?

    The world and his wife were doing conversions at that time; did all the wood come out of RSAF? Or did one of the civvy stock makers in the UKicon turn his hand at forend furniture because he thought he could undercut Enfield Lock on price, pure conjecture on my part, but I do wonder......

    It is an Envoy good way to confirm is compare the handguard with your L42 if it is longer [2.25 inchs] than it is Envoy or a reworked NO8.
    Below is my target rifle fitted with a NO8 forestock and also the stock set that came off of it,another type of Envoy stock set but you can see the buttstock is the same as yours.

    Sweet. It would take some work to make my stock into a Shooter. I would think one mod would be to hard wood plug the lug area and cut the draws.In the original picture I posted there is a stock cross bolt with the front band.
