I would save the misery and just order one. Should show up with the spring and rivets...
One person's misery is another's hobby. I quite like the challenge. I have the metalwork already.

I would, but shipping any gun parts from the US to Canada
has become almost impossible right now, even if you stay under the $100 limit.

Here's an update on the BSA No III project. I finally finished the hand-made top hanguard, stained and oiled it up and fitted it. I thought I had a spare metal end for it, but damned if I can find it. Please overall with the result. I took it out shooting recently too. It needs work, but didn't do anything it shouldn't.

The cure for the one-piece stock was to make it out of laminated "plywood" as Long Branch experimented with later.
Perhaps the lightweight rifle project had been dropped by the time the laminated stocks were being experimented with.
