Different wood types

Along the same vein, what tools were used to fit the stocks and forearms? I do as much as i can with a file for now, and have a few wood chisels that i scrape with a little. The toughest part for me it the stock and forearms around the wrist. I use a pencil to show what material is excess, then remove the part and do a little work, check it, lather-rinse-repeat.

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.

Fitting fore-ends has been covered here in the past - in great detail. Maybe you should look back or perhaps someone can resurrect the thread or point Clutch in the right direction

Here are some articles and posts that cover what you're after, I think.

What do y'all think of this one? Looks like 2-3 types of wood? ****, up load not working

Lovely to see a rifle with all matching wood, however the reality of service life is any beyond repair wood would have been replaced with whatever was available, armourers did not consider collectors many years hence.
Not surprising then that many rifles have mismatched woods.

The last time I made comment to a Blank post like the one above, I got kicked off a forum.

Not knowing what was said can get you into trouble if the reason it's blank was because of a moderator.

My comment to a blank post was "that's the best thing you have said all day" (a friendly jibe at a mate) but obviously the deleted content was a bit rough and my smart crack rubbed the moderator of that forum the wrong way.....their loss.
