I can't find any threads on this topic in here, so forgive me if I am bringing this issue up again.

Has anyone here ever seen or own an SMLE that fits this description? either with an adjustable or folding stock? I own a "sporterized" No. 4 Mk 1, it had been decently converted from its original glory. Now, since there is no shortage of sportized Enfields I would like to explore the possibility of converting mine to incorporate a pistol grip and adjustable stock for deer hunting. I have found some related information on this with very interesting photographs.

If anyone here has already successfully done this conversion, I would like to know more about it. Thanks.
 
I'm looking at doing one, still thinking about a side folder, but the DeLisle carbine, airborne version was a bottom folder, ugly as sin :D

Side folder could be easily done :D

I don't particulary like the look of enfields with AR 15 type stocks, just looks wrong.

I did contemplate going with a wire sliding stock like the US M3 machine pistol but dont think that will work very well.
 
There is a folding stock for the Lee Enfield with pistol grip. It was an issue item in South Africa for mounted police. On a No.5 Mk. 1 action they would kill at both ends....
 
A side folding stock would most likely be the easiest and most inexpensive. It would also make the rifle easier to transport and carry, although that is not an issue for me. I just want a pistol grip on my rifle, and if it is going to have an adjustable stock, I would want all of the wood replaced. Or else it would look pretty foolish. Retaining the wood on a side folding one I think would look fine. Who knows, there are lots of bubba SMLE out there to play with.
