Greetings. I have a #4mk2 Enfield. When I
purchased it, I was unaware of the different
stock lengths. I ended up with the short
stock, which can be annoying when you're
6'. I've just received a new long buttstock
and hardware from Springfield Sporters.
Anybody know how I can approximate the
original stock finish? Is it linseed oil?
I don't mind sanding it down and putting a
few coats on it. The rest of the rifle is a
little rough, so the new stock doesn't have
to be a masterpiece. I just want it to more
or less match the other wood. If anybody has
any info about removing the buttstock, I'd
appreciate that as well. (Looks like a long
flat-blade screwdriver is indicated - 9 or
10").
Thanks,
Warren
