NHBandit.
I totally understand you wanting everything on your Savage model Enfield to match accordingly with all those square S inside a square stamps. There is s fellow in the UK selling complete stock sets for roughly 225.00 USD. You can even request Beech or Walnut. Not alot of the furniture will have a Savage stamp or a Long Branch stamp though. It might just end up being a run of the mill Fazackerly stamped stock set. If you are rebuilding this rifle to original military specs and for your own personal endeavors. Go with all original S stamped parts. If you are looking to sell it as an all original Savage rifle with all Savage matching parts,that's where you might run into an issue. Unless you have a rifle that is mummy wrapped from the factory that has in no way been used at all,pretty much all of these 17 million plus Enfield rifles floating around will have parts and furniture from other factories and their respective stores of parts bins,including the furniture. If an honest collector of Enfield rifles found a used and battle worn complete and all parts matching including the furniture all matching Enfield rifle,he will probably snicker and hand it back to you. Locate the fellow in the UK and purchase the unissued stock sets he has and fit it to your rifle. You can actually find him on eBay. If you do happen across a Savage stamped forestock you will still need to properly bed it to the rifle. These are not just drop in stocks,turn the key and go type thing. Good luck on your search...

That fellow reproducing #1 wood parts will soon be making #4 wood as well and he's hoping for #5 as well. He lives in Faro, Yukon and I know him personally. Great guy, fair and honest.

As Canuck and I learned the Hard way you cannot send stock sets across the Canadian/U.S. border as private sales.

Here is my question. Is it from the US to Canada, Canada to the US,or both? I was informed by the BATF years ago that ANY firearm manufactured before 1937 falls under the Curios and Relics laws and that private sales between two private parties across US/Canadian borders is legal as long as proper documentation of the firearm is shown. It was also pointed out to me by the BATF that, a flintlock or percussion weapon is not a firearm. They are listed in the same categories as a pneumatic/hydraulically operated pellet rifle. If the flintlock or percussion weapon is 75 years or older it not only falls under the curious and relic act it also belongs under the BATF guidelines of a pellet gun. The wood on the 75 year old or older weapon according to the BATF is not what makes the weapon a weapon. It's the receiver(Master Component after serialization) that makes the weapon a weapon. If the receiver is still in the white without a serial number, it is still by BATF rules,a block of metal,and by BATF rules can be shipped to all points on the compass legally. With the proper Curios and Relic licence,any firearm 75 years old or older can also be shipped to anywhere from US origins.Again,according to the BATF. A piece of wood according to the BATF is not a firearm component.

If I had to guess, and it's just a guess, I'm betting the issue is on the Canadian side. Reason being there are a whole lot of folks on Ebay and other sites who ship firearm wood into the US every day from the UK. Seems odd that would be allowed but that we would single out Canada.

Several years ago I bought a #4/MK2 'mint' stock set from a fellow in California. We had no problems getting it to my province. Just goes to show sometimes it's a bit of a gamble. I too have ordered many many #4 metal and wood bits from England, even a NOS wax sealed box of 5 British made 10 round magazines with no problems.

Makes sense now. I have a relative that moved to Canada decades ago and he needed a saddle. I sent him mine. They confiscated it because of the rifle scabbard that was permanently attached to it. According to the documents I received...

That`s the fellow I was referring to, FirearmsCanada.com, search for lee enfield, he has a few adds up. $pc wood set $350cnd I have had wood sent to me from the states a few times and what I was told was as long as its not for blk guns aka the dreaded Assault Rifle it was fine. As far as shipping into the States from Canada idk.

NHB, Your magazine doesnt surprise me, savage and long branch helped each other out during war time production, and iirc, an old gun smith friend of mine told me that Savage acquired most all of long branch`s goodies later on?? maybe maybe not, but the story was good.

Twas t'other way around. Savage finished up their contract and then shipped all the remaining spares to Long Branch.
Long branch finished their contract and was reformed into a private company called Canadian Arsenals.

LOL!! yea, that is what my gun shop kinda looks like !!! I have so much extra stuff in there and ammo , that it has become a bit cluttered !! Its to the point , that if some one wants to buy a part or something , I need them here to look at the part , I have gotten tired of taking 15 to 20 pictures and then never to hear back !! So if you were closer to me , You could have come dig through my pile of forstocks and bags of parts !!!!

Still more questions. In my searching around on multiple forums I have a guy offering this forearm at a price I would expect to pay for a near perfect one. The horizontal indentations on either side of the middle band groove don't look right. I'm more of a US GI guy and still learning about Enfields but I have never seen anything like that on any others. His pictures aren't the greatest but I think those "dents" are on both sides. Just above the dents there is also a hole drilled all the way through. Opinions ? Thanks.
