Hey Guys, thanks for replying, it took awhile for anyone to comment!
Ganderite my father A Sorensen used that buttstock on his DCRA .308 target rifle back in the late '60's in maybe a couple of Palma matches before they switched to manufacturer provided rifles. He's still kicking by the way!
Woodchopper, the wood is for sale on the EE under my name, just search Steve Johnson.
i'd like to check the headspace on this gun but not entirely sure how to do that. an enfield expert i know here in Calgary strips down the bolt ,takes out the firing pin, spring, etc. Thanks in advance
