Wooden rifle butt socket/mount question
Hi
I have an original wooden rifle butt mount I got out of a cab 13.
I tried an original lee Enfield no 4 mk1 in it and didn't fit, also tried a m1917 which fit a bit better but not great either.
Does any one have a similar problems?
One of my friends have reproduced a small quantity of them for my vehicles.
They have the same diamentions as the original only a bit better finish.
He has found a way to make them fairly cheaply, 14€ each, using a two piece construction, instead of chiselling the centre out, in order to get the sloping bottom.
