Mk I sight swinging on the leaf

[bow]

Just finished to check bedding. All thing seems to be in good order: fore-end wrist contact, equal bearing on draws ( recently patched) , around main screw and under the reinforce. main screw is screwed with 5 turns as always, collar length checked.

The only thing different from past fitting is muzzle bearing: some days ago i've machined away 2 mm circa of wood in order to try canadian center bedding. What a mess!! So i decided to restore military bedding. To restore it , i used asilicone, very hard, used in odontoiatry: it's 95 Shore A of hardness. Barrel requires 10 pound to be lifted. Probably this pundage in too high??

Far too high. You are probably getting some strange barrel vibrations as a result.

Try about half - 5 lbs. Many No4s work well with just a light pressure.
