jmoore: Yessir, it's going to the range this weekend. I suspect it will probably be OK but then I have to turn my attention to my other P14 which has a Winchester action/ barrel installed in an M1917 stock (very poorly installed!). The receiver stands at least a quarter inch above where it should with interference along the sides of the body and under the barrel reinforce. I'd like to find a detailed description of original bedding but it's barely mentioned in the couple of books I own about Enfields. I'm mainly a Lee-Enfield guy so maybe this is just too simple and obvious compared to stocking up those. Failing any additional info I think I'll assume that there should only be two points of contact- the small and large flats at rear and front of action body with barrel totally free except for near muzzle. I'd appreciate any references anyone can point me to.
