The big problem with the Lee Enfield action is the back slanting rear of the action Ross so having to inlet with it going forward as it goes down makes for the difficulties.
I have done full stock 577/450's, the 303 Carbines and the cadets as well as many Mausers among others (Rems, Howas, BSA's etc) which are all reasonably straight forward inlets, but the Lee Speed styled stocks on the MLE or MLM are really satisfying to get done, and having had actual Lee Speeds in hand gave me a real affection for them. I have been priveledged to have done about 9 or 10 of them and have done a couple on the Mk 3 LE as well.
