Good looking rifle.  Is that a Prestige stock?
If you can't stand the answer, don't ask the question.
It's easier to get forgiven then it is to get permission.

Cool, I have the same stock.  However, even after contacting Prestige, I wasn’t told that was an option, non- curved buttstock.

What do you mean by “Inletting the forend reinforcement “?

Yes sir - thank you I stand corrected and duly admonished …Smile

For the sake of accuracy, so to avoid demerits, expulsion or the the snarkiness of “Tony” (whomever that might be) the correct name of the stock company is “Prestigious Wood Stocks” Not  “Prestige”

In response to the question Prestigious Wood Stocks does not make a replacement for the Ishapore 2a or 2a1 (mine is a 2a dated 1964) and I had them modify accordingly and hand fit myself.
According to the Prestigious Wood Stocks website I ordered from:

I ordered and they sent me as in the photograph a Lee Enfield No1 Mklll stock set for My Ishapore 2a
Hopefully this clarifries any discrepancies and any further corrections might be duly addressed to our Canadian friends at Prestigious Wood StocksSmile

for edification purposes only - not to admonish , that was never my intent in my correction , Tony was a member here - now deceased , who was a stickler for proper nomenclature , to his credit his intent was always to have folks here , particularly new members  understand how important that was in this collecting area , he also pointed out my poor grammar once in a PM , i noted it was an intentional USE to make a point and he responded that my intent was not so clear as it should have been , i miss him , 

he and i were/are curmudgeons of the first order to be sure , but his point was always well intended and he was correct in making the POINT - it is crucial in most if not all of our discussions here , 

as he might say it identifies the heathens in our midst 

in this case - for what its worth - a no3 mkI would be the pattern 1914 rifle ,
