    Fore-end for CNo4Mk1*

    I need a fore-end to restore a sporterized 1950 CNo4Mk1*. Were fore-ends of that vintage numbered at the arsenal? I'm not planning on renumbering one, but I'm trying to figure out what the odds are of finding a lightly used Canadianicon Arsenals-marked fore-end that is not numbered, or of finding a dark walnut Longbranch-marked fore-end that is not numbered. On what part of the fore-end were the CA and LB arsenal marks placed? I need to know what to look for on any that may turn up. Thanks.

    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.

    My '50 Long branch is wearing the CA marked wood and the forestock is not numbered.
    Look for marks on the forestock, just aft of the nosecap/ferrule.

    "...numbered at the arsenal..." Nope. Other than inspector's and acceptance marks. Found on the buttsocket, receiver or butt.
    Go here for lots of good info with good pictures. Part One - General History
    Gunparts is listing new, hardwood, forestocks at $37.25. Marstar, up here, shows 'em as being 'in stock', but to call for a price. No mention of what wood. Marstar Canada: Lee Enfield No. 4 mk. I Parts & Accessories
    Spelling and Grammar count!
