I can add the bi-pod but it will only be an extra enpense when you buy it. As I said before, I would never do that to an Enfield but a Yugo 8mm is ok by me to add a bi-pod.

I suspect that a previous owner may have replaced the but or restored a sporter by adding the missing wood.
I suspect this because the but lacks the sharp line at the bottom of the hand grip. I have many enfields that I have restored or am restoring and most of them have the hand grip part of the but sanded round
Note the differences in these two rifles
sanded butt
not sanded
now finding a good unsanded but is not a big problem if needed.
another thing you may want to check is if it is a DCRA rifle there may be some interesting bedding done to the forestock using anything from wood and aluminum blocks to fiberglass or other synthetic resins. If there is no bedding it may be because its not the original forestock.

No4Mk1 7.62 Nato
The 7.62 has a 25 &1/4 stainless steel barrel with no bayo lugs. There is what looks like a resin type bedding compound in two places in the forewood and the mag well is also bedded. There are no DCRA markings anywhere.The wood is C broad arrow marked and the handguard appears to be Longbranch as stated by Skennerton when I emailed him the pics. The action is Maltby.
Its a mystery piece but well done. Range reports when ever our range opens up again. The previous owner included some targets with the rifle and it shoots well into the black in a 3 inch circle at 50 yards with 7.62 Ball Ammo.

coolthis could be a target conversion that was done after the DCRA rifles but still to the same specs.
Bedding on these target rifles varied greatly, anything from free floated reciever bedded to presure points on the barrel near the reciever and or mid and end barrel. I'll look around and see if I still have the article, (someone else here has it because they sent it to me)
DCRA conversions were made on longbranch and savage recievers mostly but other recievers were also used.
