I folks,
I've been refurbishing Lee Enfields for a few years now. And on a regular basis, I have the following problem.
The No4 front band is too small for the forend and front handguard.
Now, this isn't an isolated event. It's a regular occurence. In this case, Even if the handguard is properly adjusted to the forend, there's not a single band in the four I have that even comes close to fitting. In the picture below, the screw can't reach the thread even if I try with all my stupendous strength. And even if it did reach, I wouldn't be able to turn it to tighten it, it's too far.
The four bands I have now are the milled types, not stamped.
Seems that, either I'm missing something, or longer screws should have been made to fit. Maybe the bands have shrunk over the years![]()
Any tip to solve this one? Thanks...
Lou
