I recently "restored" a sporterized No.4 MK.I Enfield, by replacing the sporterized stock, and happened to get lucky to get a New Old Stock complete with mummy wrap, tag, and cosmoline. The stock was manufactured at the same ROF factory, a month prior to the receiver/bolt/barrel. New (old) front sight hood, and front band with stacking swivel. The gun looks great, and now I want to work on another one of my Grandfather's guns.
I inherited an Arisaka Type 99, with intact chrysanthemum stamp... that was bubba'd to hell. The receiver and bolt are both in good condition, but the barrel was chopped, and a new front sight post added. The stock was butchered, and shellacked. I can replace the stock and small stuff like that, but I cant do anything until the barreled action is restored.
I come to you with 2 questions;
1 - Are there any MD local gunsmiths that can remove the barrel from the action, and install a new old stock barrel?
2 - What recommendations do you guys and gals have for C&R parts dealers? I primarily use libertytreecollectors.com
Thanks for your responses!
