Yes how is it to get the hold of the parts i need to get it back in original condition? And what is it going to cost aproximitly? What parts do i miss to do that??

You'll need to look on Ebay and see if you can find the wood, at least three parts of it. You have the rear handguard, which to me is the hardest piece to find. You need almost all of the metal for the front end, the band, the swivels and screws, the bayonet boss and screws and spring...rear sight protector ears and screw...

Here is a link with all you need to know about the Enfield No1 Mk3*,

It shows drawings and component lists as well.

I do not know where in Norway you will be able to buy the parts - You may have to buy them from the USA.

It is a nice rifle with a history, if you can, restore it to its former glory.

Not the variation that I think BSA used in 1942 but in my opinion it's the earlier better type.

Not in the best condition but cheap, wood work would need to be fitted in accordance with Peter Ls guide if it's a shooter

Lee Enfield SMLE Woodwork set | eBay

May not be BSA but its the correct type.

Placed bids on some of the parts, the wood, looked a litle shabby, but as you said, cheap. Thank you for the help so far Exited to see how the actions go [COLOR="black"]
