Just going through my old fore-ends looking for a donor for a SMLE MkI*** restoration when i found this one.
Its a fore-end that was originally machined for the long range "Volley Sights" but has had been Patched & modified to have the front volley cut-out removed and to give a smooth contour.
The rear sight protector cut out has also been patched as well and one side of the dovetail patch has a double stepped dovetail
Could this possibly be an Armourers Test piece as the work does look very professional and there would have been loads of suitable fore-ends available at that time that didn't need modifying.
