OZ SMLE (that's code for those who need to know)
 
A question for MLU OZ (or others who might know) collectors:

What is the availability of a Queensland maple stock for a Lithgow SMLE circa 1918? Is there a source for that sort of thing? A MK.III veteran in great shape for it's advanced years is in need.

Please PM if you can be of any assistance or know of a source for such a thing.

Hard to find
 
I to restore old SMLEs (Lithgow) it is quit hard to get stocks in good shape also make sure you get the right one for 1918. 1918 was a change year no stock disc. This long after production bubba has had his hand all over them and most are sanded beyond recognition. EBay and ask on Gunnutz.
Happy hunting.
