You can find parts at a gun show or online.

Hi Matt,

Welcome to the Enfield addiction

Granite pretty much summerizes it well. Also, there are a few suppliers in the States that could help you get whatever you can't find easily around here. I think starting with the CGN members is likely a good idea, you could get bits and pieces for not much. I may have a few spares, and other members have too.

One aspect that will influence maybe not the total money spent but the time spent looking for parts is if you insist on finding "LB" stamped parts.

e-mail Russ Wood with a complete list of what you need at:
northernthisandthat@sympatico.ca
He has a good supply of Long Branch parts and publishes a price list and list of parts in stock.
Let me know how you make out.

I would buy another No 4 and transfer the missing parts. Then sell off the remaining parts here to recoup some of the costs. I bet this works out the cheapest and you don't have hunt for parts all over the place which take can take a lot of time and effort. Of course, whatever you do, you need to have the finished rifle headspaced. Just my $0.02......
