Thread: My Shrunken Wood... need advice on No 4 Enfield.

Hi im not expert but those draws at the back of the foreend should have copper shims in them. Possibly fallen out and lost in the past.

Fibrrglass bedding may just need replacing.

I'd check the sights too. Is that ladder a bit wobbly ?

It will do you good to rework the stock. Could be if varnished some parts allowed more moisture in or out so is warped and a traditional boiled linseed finish might allow it to straighten. I use linseed on inside surfaces of mine but its a free floated sporter.

I feel that mine shoots better with 150 than 125gr. Its a
Mk III*. Flat base are said to be more tolerant in some way. I use sierra 150gr.
