I am putting a no4 mk1/3 I recently bought back together and I have a small problem. The previous owner had the fore end fitted without a collar and now the timber is compressed.When I put a collar in the fore end and tightened the main screw the fore end is very loose. What is the solution ,shorten the collar, will this put the trigger guard out of alignment or chisel out the timber in the trigger guard cutout and glue in a patch of timber and
refit the trigger guard.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank You
Dave
