This guy...

...is a paid member of the Enfield Cult, and an excellent source of screws. Maybe try him?

PIcs avail now...

I have looked for the before ones, but cant find them... I will post when they are avail. This is the (almost) finished product. I wouldnt have gone through the trouble if the action and barrel weren't in such great shape, normal head-space, sharp 2 grove rifling, and all matching parts!

notice missing screws?

7 coats of BLO to match the butt stock and rear handguard provided by Louthepou

I'm still following all leads... thanks all!

Fine looking rifle by the way... good job!
