Hello all,

So I've just finished rebuilding the draws on my No5. While doing that, I also smoothed out the back end of the foreend....

It started like this. Bearing only on the two areas outlined red. Now the whole of the area under the tie strap bears evenly.


...So stock fits tight with no movement front and back. It sits so the barrel is centered in the channel. The stock also sits "across the internal 'shelf' " (as per Milsurps Knowledge Library - Worn draws in your No1, 4 or 5 fore-end .... (by Peter Laidler) ).

My issue is now there is a small gap between the underside of the stock and the top of the trigger guard. What do I do here?

Secondly, the hole for the front trigger guard screw and bushing has moved back a little. Can I slowly file the hole forward till it fits?
