Agree that a LEC should be restored if possible rather than sporterized, but there is a "point of no return". I see the bolt cover lugs are missing from this one as they are on mine, and it's not even a a carbine bolt, so that is probably the kiss of death as far as restoration is concerned.

The chances of finding a forend, handguard and nosecap are very, very slim to none AFAIK.

I was trying to have some forends and handguards made, but the stock maker I would trust with the job is too busy, so who knows when he'll get to it.

Nosecaps can be made up - I know someone who made one with a drill press and an endmill, but not many people have that skill level.

Make a nice period sporter out of it and posterity will be well served IMO.
