a friend of mine brought over Martini Enfield rolling block carbine. Although relatively well preserved and complete it was missing the complete butt stock. This gun is chambered in .303 making it easy to find ammo for and practical to shoot so spending some effort to complete it is not an issue . Anyone have an idea as to where one source the stock, butt plate and hardware for this little beast ?

Snider Enfield carbine in .303? Missing butt-stock? Are you sure this isn't a Martini-Henry of some sort (or Martini-Metford/ Martini-Enfield if .303). If a Martini, finding a butt-stock shouldn't be impossible.

Thank you milsurpo, you are right it should have read Martini. I shouldn't post in the morning until the brain is engaged
 
Gun shows are a good place to start looking. Sometimes you may have to buy a parts gun to get what you want. If anything like mine the shoulder will be pushed forward after firing , farther forward than any other 303’s I have reloaded for. I keep 50 cases for it that don’t get used in any other 303. M-H 303’s shoot well if they have decent rifling.
 
Thanks JP, just checked out their website lots of neat antique kit there. Gun stocks on the ITAR list?
