    Lithgow 'parts' gun.

    I've got a 1942 Lithgow SMLE and I noted the Australianicon section mentioned Lithgow SMLE's require a brass recoil plate. The woodset I am using on the rifle is a walnut set purchased from Numrich, I did not see any 'recoil plate' on the forend. Is this kosher to fire it without the recoil plate? If not, I would like to know where to get one and fit it on the forend. Thanks, I'm new to this forum.

    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.

    It's just the coachwood stocks that require the recoil plates. No need for them with walnut furniture.
