Lee Enfield No 4 MK 1* Butt Stock.

[Chubbs]

Hi Peter
In your guide to fitting the Butt you say to leave a 2mm gap between the socket and Butt which i have done.
However I have just read the Canadian First Line Maintenance Book and in the section on fitting the butt it states
d. Test the butt for security and alignment.
The clearance between the rear face of
the butt socket in the body and the
shoulder of the butt tenon shall not
exceed 0.51 millimetre (0.020 inch);

I take it this is the gap you are talking about
Attachment 82273
Stock photo and not my rifle.

Is this different for the Long Branch rifles as that is what I have. Or am I miss reading it.

Regards Chubbs
