    Posted: December 13 2023 at 2:09pm
I've inherented an Enfield No4 Mk1/2 that has been sporterized, and I'm wanting to replace the stock and forend with original furniture. I need some help figuring out what parts I will need, and what will fit my rifle. I found a set of mostly original wood furniture that should fit my rifle, but it doesn't come with any hardware (https://www.leeenfieldpartsandmilitaria.com/shop.php?code=50764). I believe I would also need a new middle and front band (https://www.leeenfieldpartsandmilitaria.com/shop.php?code=50907) as well as the butt plate (https://www.leeenfieldpartsandmilitaria.com/shop.php?code=50974) and the rear sling mount (which I haven't found yet). Would there be any other parts that I would need to restore this rifle? Also, could I use a No1 rear sling mount on the No4 stock, or the sling mount that is already on the stock? Thanks in advance.

Ejector screw! #17
It goes in the hole shown behind/below the engraving on the sidewall. Oddly it doesn't eject fired cases! That is done by extractor tension & friction against the left side wall. It does eject UNFIRED cases though. Embarrassed
This should give you your "parts wanted" list & also the correct item to ask for.

From the diagram you will need #`s 17, 40, 41, 42, 46, 47, 50, 2x51, 52. 52 goes on before 47 is installed.
The rear sling swivel you have will work.
Good luck with your search.
