No.1 MkIII* Complete replacement stock

[bosco555]

Hi all,
I have searched high and low, but I cannot find a decent replacement stock for my smelly as above, or rather anyone who's willing to ship to Australia. If there is anyone willing to reveal the mystery and also who has these stocks available, please do tell...

Thank you for the help in advance and best to all

In Aistralia, there is no regular supply of SMLE wood as far as I am aware. There are known parts sellers who may have one from time to time and of course there's eBay and gunshows, but you may have to be patient and pay dearly if you find one.

Been able to make up about 6 complete stock sets from local online auction sites and ebay over the last couple of years, but they seem to be getting harder to source of late. I've also bought old mismatched fully wooded rifles with rubbish metalwork and then used the wood for my smle projects. They are out there, but you have to keep looking.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ pretty much says it all fleabay UK usually has them loads of No.4's MK III's not so common be prepared to fork out some dosh and then you may even end up with crud like cracked or flogged out draws but milsurps offers I reckon unsurpassed knowledge on just about everything to do with weapons and associated gear etc.
Sadly to get stuff from the USA costs from what I have seen a fair bit and surface mail takes forever and airmail $'s I managed to source some stocks over the years P.Laidler here on milsurps may chime in with a source or Brian Dick from BDL in the USA may be able to help but like all persons most keep what they have and to think millions of the little suckers were made.

I got parts from them, to mostly rebuild two SMLE's. Shipping is not cheap, but the selection is really good.

I'm quite happy to help with shipping from the uk if ebay sellers aren't prepared to ship to you direct.
pm me if needed

What's needed is a source of woodwork with provision for the long range sights. At least that's what I need!
