Hello - I am new to Lee-Enfields and have just received my first one - a 1918 No1 Mk3 FTR in 51.

Due to length shipping restrictions, the seller removed the butt and after picking up the rifle and taking it home, I just screwed it back on. Was this all i had to do. Looking at the book "The 2012 Complete Book on Lee Enfield Accurizing", it seems that I should have taken off the front stock before re-installing the butt?

Also,this may be un-related but the bolt did seem rather hard to close so, after putting it away in the safe for a few days, I took it out and now the bolt is stuck. cannot move the bolt handle.

Now, what do I do? Give it a few gentle taps with a rubber mallet? Attachment 95773
