As Fas as I understood, when I read Mr Laidler's book, the front pad was fitted to the body, than the spigot was milled (page 32 .303 N°4 (T) Sniper rifle), no other kind of work is mentionned.

In the current case, I thought about asking a front pad not drilled in order to fit it in place. But I guess that finally, I'm building up a look like 4T, not a perfect replica (I would have bought...

You're right, it needs some adjustments...

I get 0.2900", which is not that much but maybe enough to mess everything up.
So I listed the options that I get :
1) I fit the rear pad as it is, the scope will be fit higher than it should be.....

The measure is as precise as I can, knowing that I'm not measuring with the same tool than you or Cinders, I would appreciate a picture of your rear pad, please.

For me, I get :
Yellow 0.948"...0.038 of discrepancy
Red 0.548"...0.006 "
Blue 0.455"...0.011 "
Is it possible that these discrepancies can lead to a 0.236" at the rear?, I...

The distance of 250 yards is the distance recommended by Mr Laidler in the "make up a usable n°4 sniper" thread, and I'm sticking to it.

I'm using a partially recalibrated brass, that was fired in...

I have the book, no worries, I will check. thank you jsne

Thank you Badger, I'm already working with these articles, but the problem that I'm experiencing is not in, that 's why I'm asking for some help:thup:

So, it's normal to get some arrangement to fit this pad. I'm a bit disappointed, because when I received the parts, I compared the size of the pads to the blueprints located in the library, and...

It's common, so..is it the front pad which is faulty?

It's seems that my front pad is the faulty part. Can somebody measure the following lengthes, the yellow and the red,please.
...

1. Yes, this is the first thing I did.
2. I measure 0.02 inch of difference in between the dimensions described in the blueprint and my actual pad, if I'm correct of course, 0.89 inch Vs 0.87 inch...

Hi gents,
Finally, after 5 years of long wait, I started to fit a repro bracket with a n°32 MkI.
I read, read again, and drunk a lot of whisky as described in the nice documentation written by Mr...

So finally, I get some pictures of the bipod.
On one of them, we can see that this rifle is equipped with a solid block band foresight. I'm surprised by the gap in between the front sight and the...

Hi Guys,
I"m bumping a very old thread, but I've infos about this bipod and the rifle.
Both were discovered together at the same time. The bipod is a Bren Mk I bipod with the tips of a n°4 bayonet...

So, I worked on my n°4 the 25th:madsmile:
I checked and rechecked the parts, trigger guard, collar, front screw, trigger, sear, forend, sear lugs, contact points see attachments. I read and read...

I agree, otherwise we would be all gunsmith, which I am far away to be. What I understand now, is that my problem is standing in the forend fitting and not only in the trigger system.



Humm!...

Yes I have 7.1 lbs according to the method demonstrate in" the 2012 complete book on Lee Enfield accurizing" and all the test where with the rear guard screw in place.
This picture was taken with a...

Thank you Mr Laidler,
By float it out, you mean " to file"?
I disassembled again and again, and I more likely get this result on the trigger guard than the one showed before.

Thank you for your advises. So,
I read the thread "fitting a forend" I didn't read that one carefully before, because I trusted the woman or man who fitted the forend 71 years ago, yes I'm quite...

Gentlemen,
I need your experience to fix a problem that I get on my new n°4 MkI born in Shirley in 1944.
To make it short, when the rifle is in one piece, I don't get the 2 PO. I squeeze only once...

It's all clear to me now.
Thanks
:wave:

jsne,
Thank you for your advise, I will buy the pads elsewhere.


Of course it's a replica, but I would like to make a nice one. And for the screws, the problem is to choose in between the...

I'm gathering all the components for fitting a scope on a n°4.
I was looking for the 4BA screws, on a web site, thinking it was easy, a click on 4BA screws and it's done:yikes:
They are many of...
