Hi, I've just bought a nice no5, and did a couple of small repairs to the woodwork(the forend). The barrel was sitting to the left hand side of the barrel channel, so i relieved the wood of the forend at the right hand side where it contacts the butt socket/collar. I appear to still have good contact on the wooden recoil shoiulders(I forget what they're called), but I've got a small gap between the collar and the forend. I could take it up with epoxy filler, but I want to keep this one original. Anyone know if this gap will adversely effect its performance, and if so the correct way to rectify it? NB. The gap is only a fraction of a millimeter, 1/4 or so.
Thanks
