You could do it as a percentage. Measure the system to the barrel.

Then measure on a printed for ratios. apply the same ratio of the fore end to the action and you will have your measurement. AI could probably do it for you in a couple of seconds if you told it how long a lee seed enfield was

Yep - I've done those rough sums. Just keen to see what some actual forends out there are.

About 2.75 magazines seems common. ;)

Do you want a photo of each one or just length from front of action to end of tip ?

@Sarg - both photos and length from front of action to end of tip would be awesome.

If that's too much hassle, I'd appreciate the measurement.

I've seen a few of your pictures, always happy to see them again.

;-)

Thanks

Mark

ps - I think I recall you divide your time between Australia and NZ - but if you happen to be in Oz on 31 Oct ....

Not sure if you've seen AUSTRALIA: Get together near Melbourne

Awesome - thanks a lot @Sarg

Don’t laugh - a long shot - but would you happen have a spare rare sight in your parts bin?

Hahaha
I would put more laughing in there to, I have killed to get some of the sights I do have to finish projects & need a few more yet.

I have rescued twisted up ribs from gunsmiths bins (and still had to pay for them) bought scrape rifles to get sights & paid more than some rifles for those sights, I even filed up my own front sights as you just about never find a fore sight !

So I find sights cut in half by some Dick who wanted the back half then use the bits to fix another or weld up a whole rear to file up another standing sight, just got one like that recently.

Nothing is ever as quick or easy as Larry Potterfield makes it look :ROFLMAO:, but I somehow got there.

I do have some performance anxiety about the shaping job that now awaits me. :rolleyes:

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Kelly Palmer
