Marstar's import of Enfield stocks

[Hal O'Peridol]

Are they here? was supposed to happen back in August. Haven't heard anything, but then I've been living under a rock.....

 

[JP]

No, statement by John say he is still waiting on approval for export permits, Greece is in a bit of a turmoil right now, because of their monetary problems.

 

[avroe]

any idea what kind of quantity is coming in?

 

[fat tony]

I don't know for sure, but I had heard 2ND HAND it was a huge stockpile of all kinds of different parts.

 

[mwjones]

tagged for interest....i might be in the market for a no1mkiii stock set soon, and all the hardware foreward of the rear sight

 

[iroc22]

I have a stockpile of Enfields I'd like to restore. Would be nice if Marstar was able to get their hands on the parts.

 

[Woodeneye]

Very nice work!!

 

[murat]

Try ebay, someone from England was selling few two weeks ago, all brand new

 

[mwjones]

If you buy ebay parts it'll cost you 250 bucks more to rerstore your sportered enfield you bought for $125 :S

 

[North2006west]

Tradex seems to have a fair amount of enfield wood

 

[rgg_7]

All I've seen are Indian made top guards, British beech top guards and butt stock. No forends which is the hardest to come up with. No mounting hardware either. Parts are getting very difficult to find. Ron

Numrich has full stocks for Enfields-I got one for my #1 Mk3* in walnut.

 

[plinker 777]

collector67;How much,if you don't mind? I've got a sporter coming my way and will be looking at restoring it to it's former glory.

Now that is GREAT news!

Define "an adequate supply" for me please. It would be nice if this shipment would stay in Canada & sold retail with a whole bunch of import fees & permits required for US customers, then they might feel our pain for a while. Yes, I am bitter as the day is long about this particular issue.

 

[Brordo]

I too am waiting for this one...I've inherited a 1943 No.4 sporter waiting to be desporterized...

 

[wolf19534]

i've got a Surrey No.4 MKI i've always wanted to desporterize but was under the impression that most "sporterized" models also had the barrel cut....anybody know the original length the barrel should be ?.....mine measures 31"...thx

 

[Baal]

^
25.2" for an uncut barrel. You'd better measure again.

Or post a pic of the front sight area; that will tell it all. If there's a portion of the barrel protruding in front of the sight about 1.5 inch, with its bayonet lugs, chances are it's intact.
