Well.... I finally found time this weekend to work on the Enfield.
My dad had a nice piece of walnut laying around that he donated to the cause. First, we made a jig to keep the stock square on the table saw. We ripped a recessed centerline down the jig and then screwed the stock down to it. We then began the slow process of cutting what was left of the old draws out. Once we were happy with that, we began shaping the replacement piece of walnut being careful to match the receiver and draw angles. It took a lot of time, patience and sanding but I feel like we did a pretty good job.
Now all that's left is the titebond 3 and brass screw. Once the glue is dry, I will mount it back on the jig and cut out the center where the receiver sits. Batta boom batta bing!
