    308 enfield Stock fit a 303 Enfield

    I have been on the hunt for a stock that has a inlet for a magazine cut off for quite some time. I just found a 308 stock for cheap that doesn't have the inlet. Figured I may as well have my carpenter friend cut it for me. Will the stock fit my 1907 No1 Mk1***.

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The 2A/2A1 forestock should fit your SMLE I***, subject to some modifications. The cut-off area you already know about. If your rifle has the bolt-head charger guide, there will be a gap in the new stock which is inlet for the fixed charger bridge. You might also find some difference in the barrel band arrangement. (I have a 1906 Mk I* with Mk III forestock on it)

    If you're going for a correct restoration this wouldn't be the thing to use. The reinforcing band across the back end would be an obvious fault.
