Recently refurnished.
Fulton Regulated forestock , B-Square scope mount , Ruko 2.5x scope. No4 buttstock and walnut cheekpiece.
Nothing cut or altered . ...except ..I replaced the rearsight and I made the front forestock band from advice by Fulton's. The bolt hole throught the forestock was already there , but was filled in and had to be drilled out.

I have a similar 1918 BSA Mk.3* which I added full wood to. It is also in good shape. I really like the looks of yours....cheekpiece and extra band. Could you let me in on the Fulton's info? I would also like to know where to get a cheekpiece and also the scope base. Did it have to be drilled? I would hesitate to drill this one. Great restoration....keep up the good work. Dave
 
I have been seriously considering a Bubba project. What did the parts cost you other than the original rifle?
I would also like to know where to get a cheekpiece and scope base?
 
Awesome job!

How does the mount secure itself to the rifle? It looks like there is only one bolt.

How was the stock finished? BLO?
 
No drill / tap B-Square mount fits on using the ejector screw thats supplied , and a clamp thats fits over the charging bridge inside and a screw . There's also an adjusting screw for slight windage adj. With this mount , I can remove it in minutes , install the (matching) buttstock and enjoy the use of windage adjustable rearsight . I have no experience with this mount yet...so...
I'll let y'all know what I think of the B-Square No1 mount after I pass a 100 rds , or so , under it .

BLO / elbow grease finish .
The buttstock is for a No4 which fit on without any probs or alternation.
The walnut cheekpiece is by Bob ..( a CGN'r )..nice piece of work fersure.
I also use this buttstock when I "dressup" my "43 Longbranch.
The Fulton forestock has the original cork bedding bottom and top , with 2 ,spring seated , barrel supports fitted into the top handguard that push down . This downward push is enough to warp the handguard , so the extra forestock band is required. This band was missing when I purchased it . I contacted Fulton's and they told me how/what to replace it .
The barrel supports look almost indentical to the barrel stud that fits under the nosecap.
