first smle

[paratroop]

So I got a mark III* Its a little rusty, a little grimey, and a little sporty. I want to bring this one back to original configuration, but i cant find all the wood anywhere. especially rhe forestock and handguards. the buttstock might actually be salvageable.

So anybody got a line on the wood besides numrich?

It is worth watching EBay too.

[paratroop]

thanks. I saw that too. None in stock though. I didnt know what a pain in the butt this would be.

I can't remember which site it was but they had a huge amount of spare parts for surplus rifles! I'll send ya a pm when I remember! but it's a start right? you know sometimes gun broker has some good stuff on there too!

[paratroop]

I appreciate it brother. I figured I would ask here because some of you guys are pros at knowing where all these things are and who has what.

I just printed out a schematic, and oh boy am I missing alot of little parts. Its just too bad some people do this to these rifles. It could have been a nice collectors piece.

SARCO

Try Sarco. Going through their warehouse is on my bucket list. If you read Shotgun News they are always saying they found something when cleaning up. Here are the parts for your rifle

Try Springfield Sporters, got most of the parts for my SMLEs there.

http://www.ssporters.com/parts/ENFIELD1.htm

Items 19A, 76, 77.
The DP markings on the ones I got were not too deep (YMMV).
The forearm is profiled for the magazine cutoff, does your SMLE have a cutoff?

^ these guys!
I picked up a Sporterized LE No4 last month. Eventually I will replace all the wood & hardware. I can get all new matching wood. Priced it out @ about $150 for everything. There is about 20 pcs total.
Currently waiting for my new CMP Stock to arrive for my 03A3. Got the new hardware from Sarco today.

I did a bubba save on a Spanish 1916 short rifle in 7x57, and ordered the parts I needed from them. They are a good parts dealer.

alright, thanks a bunch to everyone for pointing me in the right direction. I already have all my part numbers for ssporters written down. interestingly enough, im about 20 parts short at about $150 too.
