    SMLE Forearm stock

    I have an SMLE No1 Mk III which has been sporterized. I wish to return it to its original military configuration. To that end I've acquired the missing parts and wood including a new forearm stock which is over sized and has a horizontal band extending the width of the rear of the stock rather than the H pattern support. Instead of butchering that forearm stock to fit, I found another replacement forearm stock with the H pattern but without the metal support. Is there an easy way to remove the support piece from the sporter forearm without butchering either the support or the stock? Thanks, Dennis

    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.

    On the right side of Australia, below the middle and a little bit in from the edge.

    Hi, Denis. I undestand from reading your post on another forum, you've successfully "transplanted" the plate into the new foreend. Was there another problem mentioned there that hasn't been sorted yet?

    No other problems

    No other problems. I also had to sand quite a bit of wood for the middle band in order for it to fit around the forearm and upper handguard. Thanks, Dennis
