Gents,

I was looking at the pictures of the two rifles in the other thread and they set me thinking about something.

Now conventional wisdom tells us that during the conversion process Holland and Holland would install the pads onto the rifle first and then, and only then, would the final machining of the front spigot and rear V notch be carried out in order to perfectly align both bracket and pads with the bore of the rifle.

My question is this? If the process is carried out as above then why are the pads machined on the scopeless (T) as they're clearly not calibrated to a bracket?

Answers on a Postcard please.
