Enfield parts.

Hey guys, just did a sporter build on a MKIII Enfield and so far its great! One problem, I cant find a stock rear sling swivel for the military stock anywhere. Numrich, Ebay, NADA. Anybody have any crap like this layin around? The swivel must be 1 1/4 wide. Any feedback is appreciated.

I'm confused... you did a sporter build, but it has the original stock?

Afraid I can't help you with the sling swivel... I checked all my milsurp sites to no avail too.

Springfield Sporters lists swivels for the MKIII Enfield. When I was collecting rifles before, I used them a few times for 03 and Model of 1917 parts. Was happy with there service and parts.

Please say you did not destroy the wood on a MKIII!!!!!! They are such sweet little pieces!

I used a military buttstock and a Boyds sporter forend, Chapparal. DoggyDaddy, you remember the Enfield is a 2 piece stock? Thank you for looking in your parts bins and for the input, guys.

Not only that, I got the gun as a barreled action with no wood or mag.

Try there if you haven't already. I just looked and they have a No.4 but rear sling swivel bracket (same as No.1 Mk.3) and a sling swivel/screw for No.1 Mk.3.

Hope this was helpful!

Ah, this makes a lot of sense then. Carry on!

I always forget about SARCO, and I've had their site bookmarked for a long time. Good find!

Now that I know more about it, I'm looking forward to pics! And no, I don't think I did know about the two-piece stock. I guess I never tried taking my stock apart on mine. (No.4 MK1) Glad I learned something this evening!
