    What Ishapore added was a large wood screw halfway between the front of the reciever and the mid barrel band

    the red white red paint indicates a Drill rifle

    you can find a SMLE that has been sporterized with the fore-end cut-off near the band and these rifles can be restored. The painted bands can be removed, my question concerns the value of these fore-ends? $40 $50 or $60 plus ?
