LEC restoration help plz

[tatou]

Hi guys,
i would need the help and collective knowledge of the community to restore a LEC i've found a few months ago.
It came to me as a barreled action. Missing the butt stock and the fore end chopped.
Of course no handguard or nose cap too.
Anyhow i managed to track down almost everything needed, i'll fabricate the handguard and do a graft on the cut fore end.

Not having one to compare side by side wont make it easy but i should be able to turn something acceptable.
Now what i would need help with is at least one measurement.
I would need to know how much the barrel sticks out (or protrudes) from the nose cap.
With this i should be able to mockup up things and go from there.
Any and all help/information is greatly appreciated in advance.

Pulled an LEC Mk I out of the safe, and it looks like the barrel extends just over 1/4 of an inch past the nose cap. I also used a meter tape-measure, and I counted 7mm of barrel protrusion.

Good luck with the resto!

Once again thank you for the help… just what i needed.
It wont be as nice as yours but for a first one it will be good enough.
I also have a NZ one to do and either another LEC or a RIC too… not sure which model the 3rd one was, it's been butchered too much. Have to do more research on it to figure it out.

Thank very much… i'll take any help i can. The more informations and pictures i have on hand the ''easier'' it will be (if there is such a thing as easy when doing this)
Should i send you my personal email in PM ?
