    The back-sight leaf and the cursor slide are "relieved" so that, during bolt removal, the bolt-head can run freely out of the body with the sight "lowered" and the No. 32 scope still mounted.

    ONLY the base block should be relieved, do not touch the cursor slide. I have seen a number of sights which have been destroyed by "well meaning" owners attempting to "improve" their rifles.

    In several hundred rifles, I have NEVER (not 1 time yet) seen this modification on an original No4T (except by people who read or heard of the mod. in PL/IS book).
