Yes it is Maple. Here is a photo of the barrel cut and DP stamp. The top of the knox is also drilled. |

I thought to restore it, but finding first model wood, bolt head, sight etc, will be so hard and expensive, that I won't try.... And barrel is cuted. I measure only 35cm. regards no worries - i understand................... i respect that - there are many in the throws of just such an endeavor right now that are more than frustrated by the lack of parts and amount of effort this takes , the parts are out there but the cost is great and unlike past times when it might be not only easy but economical , today things are very different ... i have friends that are giving up - and they are close to complete but missing just that right piece , i understand , in the end these are old , they will never be originals , they will always be what we make of them , hopefully someone will care enough to treasure them when we are gone as we have , it is a fun bit as is - just not the way i would like it to be , but im not certain i could fund it either

he!!o A square 10
If I find a bolt head 1st type and a magazine, I will take it to complete the mecanik part of the rifle, to put it for a display about SMLE. Moreover the problem on this piece is if I put a bolt head I can't close the bolt?? We never know maybe I will have the occasion to find some piece for it, and don't worry if I can I buy it to restore. Today it isn't priority :) regards francois
