Again, while doing some searching for a source of SMLE furniture I found Fox Military in Europe. They list an amazing number of reproduction stocks for Berthier, Lebel, Berdan, Mosin Nagant, G41, G43, G98/40(!), DSM34 (yay, there are so many of these in bubba'd stocks), SVT40. Sadly no Enfield.
You have to register to see prices but I was surprised that they aren't outrageous ($290 for the DSM 34 stock in the photo). They also offer SN and other stamping which for me is a potential problem if they're presented as original. But I'm just pleased to see a source for restoring damaged or defaced furniture. Wish I had this available to me years ago when I ran across a rare German 98/40 that had been hacked. It was selling cheap and would have made a nice candidate for restoration.
