The above sad pictures are my 1942 BSA SMLE's Stock (fore-end).
The SMLE is a BSA 'dispersal' rifle (see Skennerton's 'The Lee Enfield Story', p176) and probably a fairly good example of the type with a mix of furniture and a 4 groove barrel.

I was happily shooting it at Bisley, and noticed bits of wood dropping out of the bottom. Not a good thing I thought!
Yes, we know the cause, the butt was removed before the stock (NOT ME!!!).
I was lucky enough to find a near identical beech stock/fore-end from Terry Abrams.
But, can the original stock, numbered to the rifle, be saved, and who in the UK might be able to undertake it such a repair?
Thanks,
