What to do

[Beater]

ive not restored or repaired an enfield for a long time now. took some pics today. trying to decide what to do with my lil parts collection

 

[Snider shooter]

Fair bit of money there if you decide to sell. I have a similar collection. People always wonder how I get my wood to match so well. Boxes of hand guards and butts helps. Never have too many parts.

Apart from post threads with more specific titles?

IMHO the days of economically de sprterizing are long gone. I have started selling off my LE parts rather than having them sit around doing nothing. Perhaps they will help someone else who needs them more than I.

Even though I don't have a plan to desporterize another LE anytime soon, I don't think I'd be able to resist a DYI de-sporterize kit with one of each thing I'd need. I can't be the only one

 

[BlackPowderBurner]

I'm sure many of us on this forum could use some bits from there. A normal or long length dark beech No4 Mk2 butt stock would be nice

 

[StrelokM38]

putting together batches of these as 'kits' would probably go over quite well for folks trying to un-f*ck a sporterized rifle.

Sometimes when you find Lee Enfield parts you run across a lot of one item. SMLE bands over 100, #4 extractors over 300 and SMLE rear nose nuts over 300. You have to laugh sometimes as you know you will never use them all. I’m at the point I am thinking of selling some of my parts and keeping what I am going to use.

well I cleaned out a lot of my spare bits but now I find myself needing the odd part, mostly barrel bands for various projects

other parts I can build on the lathe and milling machine.

re-building enfields is just not economical anymore.

neat looking collection of parts. But I don't see the little inserts that go into the side of the but stock. Where can one find these

 

[Snider shooter]

If your referring to the brass disk and screw I bought some off eBay in the UK. He still has a few. Reproduction. $15 plus shipping.

LOL, it’s was still worth the gamble of clicking.

IMO, looks like you have lots of doubles. Sell off the extras.
As mentioned: you may be hoarding a part somebody is really looking for.

I’m the same way with Ross stuff. I buy all of it I come across. You never know when you’ll get a beautiful rifle with one defective part. With Rosses it seems common.

Double post because I live near n the middle of nowhere and internet is a luxury. Ha ha

Always remember the part you sell today is the part you will need tomorrow.

Been there done that.
