    Lon Branch n4mk1* Bedding Checking And a thank you to Mr. Laidler and Mr. Horton

    Sorry for my bad english, but i'm an italian enthusiast of Lee enfield and i need some advices in order to check my L.B. n.4mk1* bedding. Having red previous posts, i know that there's must be good contact between draws and action, but contact will not go past the draws. But how to check if the contact is correct? And also how can i fit tight my fore end against the socket if i have a clearence of 0.002 mm? So i know theory but i didn't understand real situation of my rifle. How to check it?
    Last but not least i want to say thank you to Mr. Laidlericon and Mr. Horton for the whole good informations they posted here.
    Thank you a lot,
    Bow

    Maybe someone can post a direct thread to Bow, showing or directing him to the thread on how to patch the draws. That should cover it.....

    Thank you Mr. Laidler. I've already bought 5 l. of raw lineed oil for my stock. First i'll use linseed oilicon, after i'll patch the draws..but i think patch is a need. Another question: if the fore end doesn't contact firmly the socket, i could shim the fore end or...what else? I apologize if there're a specific post about it, but i haven't find.
