Darryl, that's the one all right. I didn't like their plastic stock so I made one out of walnut and used an old Lee Enfield butt plate.I also flipped the bottom part of the magazine over and glued some fired .303 brass in the grooves for a more realistic look. I'm going to put the barrel pipe in the lathe to put the grooves in it too. I made the stock extend up through the action part to give more strength and used a piece of 3/8' black iron pipe for the barrel. This made it pretty sturdy.
It looks good when you're back a ways but the plastic hasn't got any fine details in it. Everything is kinda rounded off. For the price it does the job. I know if I drove around with it mounted in a truck the guys in the striped pants would have me stopped in record time.
The attached pic shows the stock and barrel I made
