    No.1 butt stock on a No.4?

    I prefer the slender and shorter grip area of the No.1 butt stock to that of the No.4 so I would like to put a no.1 butt on my no.4. Any unforeseen problems with this? has any one else done this?

    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.

    It looks very possible. I am looking at the two buttstocks and they appear to be almost alike . Maybe the No.1 stock needs a little bit of wood trimmed off to fit a No.4 receiver.

    Search Peter Laidlers past posts.

    If I recall correctly, Peter has posted before about doing this in service.

    Thank you paulseamus that was most helpful. I thought I had read all of Peter Laidlers posts on fitting wood work but I managed to miss that one.
