No4 mk2 UF55 accurised by Parker Hale

Probably mine is a stupid question.. But i feel un familiar with the area where brass shims are located :
brass shims are very useful to build firm contact between fore end and " socket". And it's OK ( sometimes in the past i used epoxy to have full bearing here) BUT:

Why fore end has not wood connecting left wood+shim to right wood+shim?

Hi Bow,

It is a mk2 so the wood is cut out for the trigger bracket, hence 2 seperate shim piles. The shims are all 6thou thick, however there are 2 on one side and 1 on the other. I dont know if this is a fine tuning attempt or someone has lost a shim, maybe several. Beer cans I have are also 6thou so I might replace with new alloy shims and just keep these to one side.
