Hello out there in cyber land. Does anyone make a good semi-inlet stock for SMLE Rifles? Or am I going to have to work from a blank.

I think you could get a nice set off Gordon Cussens in Tasmania, he has the patterns & pantograph machine (I think) of Geof Slee who made most of mine .

I believe Gordon's posted under the name "Juglansregia" ... I've sent a quick message to him asking about his services - perhaps we could arrange for a group purchase if it made sense?

Sorry I missed you guys before, I don't know how to contact Gordon, I got my stocks from Mr Slee, who has since passed away, these were some of his last work, I could find out but may take a while, my boss has used his stocks but he is in the field & I will be in a week or two as well !
I see you have found him on this site so it may not be needed from me ?
Steve, I sent you a email on mags, did you get it ?

No Satg. I didn't get any mail from you. Where did you send it? I'd LOVE to get a set for new stocks on 2 SMLES and save myself the labor of doing it all from a blank. Please if there is any way at all to get me in touch with the maker of those stocks I'd REALLY appreciate the contact. Steve

I've reached out to Gordon via email, so hopefully I'll hear back in due time. I did suggest that others from this board might also have an interest in purchasing stock sets too.

Ahhh That's the problem. The gmail account never worked right and it's no longer a valid address. I'll PM you now Sarg and give you the good one.

Boyd's are kind of hit or miss. You just have to keep an eye on their web site. I've tried calling, without a lot of success.
