Its general knowledge that the No.4 rifles need to have support(pressure)at the nose cap in order to achieve better accuracy but what about sporters with their forestock cut down? I just won a restorable sported No.4 at auction that has a cut down forstock. I noticed that owners as well as companies such as P&H and Sussex etc. put out sporters with cut down timber. This confuses me, why would this alteration be done if it attacks the accuracy? or does it attack accuracy?

Thanks in advance
