I need to restock a barreled action and I am not sure what stock I need.
An Enfield or ? I was ask if the action had a straight or curved belly . What are they talking about?

Thanks for any help.

  THE ORIGINAL M-1917 (AND THE BRITISH P-14) HAVE A BIT OF A 'BELLY' TO THEM AND A 6 SHOT MAGAZINE. WHEN SPORTERISING ONE MOST GUNSMITHS REMOVE THIS 'BELLY' AND MAKE THEM A 5 SHOT. IF YOUR TRIGGER GUARD HAS AN 'OFFSET' AT THE FRONT SCREW HOLE YOU NEED THE "CURVED" ONE. DO A SEARCH ON THE AUCTION SIDE FOR M-1917 AND A BUNCH WILL COME UP.
