That is not the bolt you need & it won't fit the stock anyway, sorry.

The MK1's had a strap passing across the rear of the wood & riveted into both sides. When the trigger was moved to an add-on part for the Mk2 conversion (1/3 in your case) the arrangement no longer worked because the hanger for the trigger was in the same place. What was doe instead was the rear of the stock was divided, passing on both sides of the hanger & a long thin bolt was used to clamp the split rear to the hanger.

You need to replace the modified Mk1 stock with a Mk 2 stock, or cut the dovetail & use washers & bolts to duplicate the function.
