No. 4 Mk. 2 butt stock gap

[Peter Laidler]

Being craftsmen, we had to have a series of guides to work to and this was one of 'em! As one of yours has already cracked/chipped away for JUST that very obvious reason, it's a good guide to why we had them. Listen elsewhere if you like, but nearly right ain't good enough. Exactly right is near enough. Proverb on one of the classroom walls. Carlisle, 1963.

In my opinion, unwrapping an Ordnance sealed rifle, sealed from new in 1955 is the biggest mistake. I bet you wouldn't have taken a brand new unused 1965 MGB GT out for a run last week, especially when, if you wanted to take one for a spin you could have chosen from the other million out there! Only my humble opinion.....................

Peter I agree and that's the reason why I never unwrapped the one I bought a while ago. However I purchased both the rifles I mentioned from an older gentleman who had already unwrapped one and bought the other in 1994 in very used conditon. I'm looking to have a nice no.4 Mk 2 to be my primary shooter. Would shimming the sides of the buttstock with thick paper make a difference?
