    Stock bolts

    Hi

    Trying to fit a replacement walnut butt to my SMLE and found the stock bolt is about an inch too short at 5" long. Am I correct in thinking the Long Lee stock bolts are longer than the SMLE ones and are the threads the same?

    Thanks for any information.

    You're correct on both counts. The Long Lee stock bolt is 6.25" and the same thread.

    I understand the Martini Henry stock bolt is also the same thread, not sure about length.
    If you need a long Lee stock bolt I expect Phil Rose would have one; PM me if you need his contact details.
