Performance of No. 4 Mk 1* Long Branch

[cprher]

Brian,
Did as you recommended. Laidler is a wealth of knowledge. After looking at my 4 No. 4s I focused on the front action bolt and whether the ferrule was too long. Each was to one degree or the other. On my most accurate rifle it was only about .010" too long, but others were anywhere between .020" and .070" too long. Adjusted them all IAW Laidler's article and we'll see how they shoot. Most interesting to me was all of the adjusted lengths were very similar, ~.420", but ranged from .500" to .425" before adjustments were made.
