Removing SMLE Fore-end Rear Screw Wire

[Roger Payne]

Thanks for the tip. I've got a few knackered but repairable forends scattered about & also a small supply of the new wire; I just haven't gotten around to doing any yet, although I did turn a new brass disc for the end of one of the brass pins used on the Long Lees a few weeks ago. I'll have to give your method a try because SMLE wood is getting far too valuable to waste, if it's at all repairable......
