No.5 MkI Help

[b32dominator]

Peter thank you very much for all of your information. I read what you wrote earlier and set right to work in my "Armory" and started some testing. I do believe the draws to be worn because as you stated the rifle shifted back and fourth. Which I also believe caused the fulcrum wearing. I fitted some .303 ammo box card board in the draws and around the collar and that took care of the shifting. I will set to work finding some hard wood scraps and reading up on the repairs. I've seen some good write ups on the draw repair. Thank you so much for your insight!

Ps. Anyone have a lead on a original No.5 front band? Mine must have been in Malaysia because the under side is so pitted and the outer surface was polished and blued.
