Enfield synthetic stocks? (56k warning, big pics)

[sailorjosh]

So my father was given this lee enfield shtle III* (well it was his at one point and now its come back to him..you know the drill), and he would like to put a synthetic stock on it, as the wood is pretty badly butchered...he wants either a synthetic stock or new wood, he isn't really looking to restore it to original condition but make it more...uh...nicer. You'll see why in the pictures. What canadian dealers sell synthetic stocks or new wood? I poked around the sites I know about but couldn't really find any. Anyone know any specific stocks that would fit this model? Here are the pictures. Don't cry.

OMFGZ! Just look at that buttstock! It's like a very disturbed 6 year old who still hasn't developed a sense of proportion went at it with a dull butterknife.

Must've been one of the designers for Hi-Point firearms.

What was someone thinking??

At a guess: "I've had three two-fours, and a quart of whiskey... bring me my Lee Enfield and ma whitlin' knife"
Still not as bad as a one I saw at a gunshow this weekend

No1, Mk III stocks can be had from SIR Mail order, Districorp and Marstar. I have one on my No4Mk1 and it is a fine deer gun.

I don't know, I think the old girl has character.
Putting that iron into a synthetic stock would be like putting my grandmother into an evening gown.

PS

Do not cut that barrel.

That gun is restorable. I'll trade you a parked one even if you want a cut gun...

I've got a couple of original buttstock's if you're interested, drop me a PM.

That must have been bad!!

IIRC ATI is making a synthetic stock set for the enfield. It should be more then reasonable in price.

Looking at the pics, the barrel has already been chopped.

What's the story on the Lever action in the case with the Phillips screw head holding the lever in place?

No idea, some old marlin.

 

[sailorjosh]

So we've opted to put an original buttstock on it instead (courtesy of skippy.) I think I am falling in love with this little bubba!

They need to be shot. With that rifle pointed inwardly at their chest.

Holy antichrist that makes new 'ugliest gun' for me and has to take the bubba of the year too...
