Sht LE MK I*** wire wrapped info

[tatou]

Hope these help.

Absolutely Thank you very much.
The shot of the middle band confirms that the front portion is a continuous wire.
On a side note i notice that your front wrapping goes back all the way over the front volley sight plate, up to the rear sight.
Interestingly it's the first i see done that way. All the others stop just before the dial sight plate.
The rifle i bought also stops just before the dial sight plate. The marks on the wood and the screw holes are clearly visible.
So it would appear that there was at least 2 wrapping methods used. I find this interesting and useful.

The muzzle is up on the two band pictures.
