Restoring a no.4 mk1, and obtained an unissued beech stock set. In fitting, I find the rear hand guard is both short and low, by almost 1/8” in each dimension. Length of the hand guard is 10 15/16”. Front hand guard aligns just fine. It’s a bit too much to try shimming with cork, etc.

Are there different rear stock bands or hand guards that need to be matched up, or did I just get an off sized one?

Thanks for your input.
