1918 No1 MK3*

[fester]

Well I have put off this project for awhile.
I have my grandfather-in-laws No1MK3 and I would like to restore it to its original condition. After reading a few posts on here. I realized something I had not thought of before, barrel length? How long should it be? It is currently 24.5". It seems from my untrained eyes to be the proper front sight as well. I will take pictures later.

The barrels are supposed to be 25", but it's not entirely unusual for them to be a bit longer or shorter. Wartime production.
Looks like you might just need the forestock and the metal bits that go on it. The wood likely won't match in colour though. Gunparts has complete stocks less all the metal for $75.25 US. They have most of the metal too. Marstar has some of the metal bits. Assorted prices. Not all of which are exactly cheap.

From the picture, hard to say but I wonder if the top part of the receiver might have been modified (the "bridge" seem to be gone...)

Probably I did not measure in the right place.

The wood on the butt stock is pretty beat up so I may try to replace it.

Yeah, the part for stripper clip loading is gone. Why?

Bubba no need no strippy clips.

They can be re-attached by a gunsmith if it's got sentimental value to you.

I think i know what you are talking about on the top as I have seen it before.

I don't need that.
