What I would do also is take the bottom wood off whilst the top wood is off and have a look at the draws to see if they are flogged out remember to tap it downwards at the receiver end do not just pull it straight off by the front there is info on how to remove the bottom woods contained on this site. Pictures would help of the bottom wood looking down from the top the chaps here could then give an honest opinion on what they see (clear pics). Just one thing I did was with the Guard front trigger screw done up try to see if the action rocks fore and aft by alternating pressure on the rear of the receiver and where the barrel meets the fore wood. Why do I ask this, simple my T rocked fore and aft like a rocking horse with its date on fire as the screw was not pulling it down far enough and the previous owner must have had a group like the Eiffel tower the subsequent recoiling mashed the draws so they looked like a dandelion. Also see if it has the collar that sits between the trigger guard and the action there is info on how to fit one of those. Always ask especially here as the integrity and honesty of the people with the knowledge and experience is brilliant, the bloke who said it was a fake well maybe there was a hidden agenda as the 5's do command a reasonable price. Me thinks that his brain cell (1 of suspended in a vacuum) was full of gunga! Have fun bloke the enfield infection grows on ya trust me they multiply.........
