    Removing Weedon buttstock plug?

    Greetings Fellow Enthusiasts,

    I want to remove the wooden Weedon plug from the butt of my P14 and replace it with a brass disc - which I already have.

    What is the best ( and easiest way ) to remove the Weedon plug? Hopefully some method that does not require drilling the blatsed thing out...

    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 ...

    Florey, I've done this several times. Use a sharp 1/2 inch wide chisel centered on the plug and lined up with the grain of the plug and tap it straight in with a mallet. The plug will split in half and the pieces will fallout with just a little help. They were just glued in and come out pretty easy.
