I think you should be in the Lee Enfield forum for starters, but if you place a Want to buy in the appropriate forum you maybe surprised...

Just google flea bay for MKIII stock should get a few hits local firearms stores can offer a lead some times, rifle clubs that do milsurps shooting some members may have a spare they my want to sell there are also repo's appearing now so there are heaps of leads just there. Also do your homework here and study what a good fore-end is as you do not want to buy a twisted munted flogged out draws fore end for your rifle and while your there look up how to look after the furniture on your rifle and I do not mean the stuff in your lounge room either.

Welcome to milsurps anyway

Hi Cinders:

Just wondering if you are in any fire danger? I'm just back from NSW at my son's place 50 miles north of Sydney. Embers falling on a a daily basis.

I hope you are Ok and have a drop of Margaret's river for me.

Alan.

We have our own fire issues here at present the main road east is cut and there are shortages of perishable items being felt in the big supermarkets as we speak the Eyre Highway (The states life line to the Eastern States) has been significantly damaged by the radiant heat and the trucks cannot get through and are stranded the road from Norseman to Esperance has also been cut.
Its as dire as it can get for our country.
