stock reinforcing bolt on S no4mk1*

[Ridolpho]

for what purpose? Thanks, Bob

BobM: If a forend is not properly fit (sometimes due to aging) a longitudinal crack will often develop at the front triggerguard screw collar and can grow long enough to ruin it. The Indian's screw deals with the effect but not the cause. I've had a few that were saved by the screw, giving me the opportunity to make necessary repairs and salvage the forend. A reinforcing bolt was probably not installed routinely in Lee Enfields because the furniture deals with recoil in a completely different way than a full stocked Mauser, Mosin, etc.
