Enfield No 4 stock
I'm thinking about making my Enfield no 4 mk 1 my primary hunting rifle for this deer season, and I'm wondering who out there has put the ATI stock on theirs? My first question is about the weight, I'm wondering how much weight is saved with the ATI stock. I've not had good luck searching online for the actual weight of the factory stock or the ATI synthetic, I know the whole rifle is a little under 9 lbs, and the shipping weight on the stock is 3 lbs, but of course that doesn't really tell me how much lighter the rifle will be.
I want to use the ATI stock partly to reduce the weight, and also so that I don't have to worry about damaging the original stock on my enfield, I would like to put it away somewhere safe and then in the future I can put the nice wood stock back on to return the rifle to original condition.
My other question is in regards to length of pull, I've heard that there were 3 different lengths of rear stock on the enfield, (is this accurate) and wondered how ATI stock compares, if it's right in the middle or what. I found something online somewhere that gave 3 different measurements for the stock, and none of the 3 matched up to mine, but that might be that I wasn't measuring the right points (I measured from the top of the buttplate up to the end of the rear stock, right where it meets the receiver), or maybe the person who put that online made a mistake, or maybe that was for the Enfield No 1, who knows?
