    Regarding the original post from Chubbs; a photo of the trigger guard may be useful. To ensure that it is not bent!
    I know Peter mentioned some people bend the thing to bodge the trigger. But I don't think Chubbs has been asked if his trigger guard is straight.
    So are we certain that the trigger guard is good before Chubbs adjusts the woodwork?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Trigger guard must be straight, it was one of the checks on the crib sheet.

    Real Armourers didn't go in for a lot of this '....bend it a bit....' stuff to effect repair because 'bend it a bit' and other phrases such as '...gently swage the top...'. and 'grind a small amount from.....' have different meanings to different people, such as Recovery mechanics or cooks or blanket stackers

    I was I the motor trade for 20 years Peter, so I will add ' it's got to give a bit' and 'technical tap' to 'gently swage the top and 'grind a small amount from'
