I've just noticed that my no4 enfields, 2, both have near zero pressure holding the barrel into the bottom bearing at the front of the forend, essentially they're near floating, with the added hassle that they touch and no doubt vibrate on the surrounding wood.

I'm familiar with the next steps but want to check a couple of points;
Was the up pressure 8-10 pounds for the no4? Is higher better ie 10?
If I put a cigarette paper under the barrel and it comes free at eg the 10 pound level, is it correctly set when I can first move the paper?
Do no1mk3's have the same system of up pressure and is the poundage the same?

thanks R
