No.4 (T) for $20 build thread

[Peter Laidler]

The fit of the butt at the butt socket and rounded edges - and general condition would not be acceptable. The cheek rest should not be central but canted to the left to support your right cheek

Thanks CINDERS, I actually have the DVD for Capt. Laidlers book and forgot how in depth the information is in there!
The stock collar is in place yes, but the whole stock is not properly fit yet, I haven't checked for up pressure at the muzzle end nor checked for hand guard clearance, this was just a photo op.
The pads are originals but not to this rifle, generously donated by a forum member! They need to be installed still and I have the silver solder to do it right. Winter project at this point.

This whole project would be nowhere near where it is if it wasn't for the generosity of the group! Pads, pad screws, hand guards and proper taps have all been generously donated by forum members. When I finally get this rifle built I will post a list of everyone's donations so they all can be appreciated for their generosity.

I did notice the fit wasnt very good, wanting to use this piece, would it be acceptable to file the edges back a bit to sharpen them back up? Then shave the socket stem back for a proper fit?
Maybe not enough meat left to work with?
The cheek piece isnt installed yet, just resting there for pictures.
