jmoore,

Am on a quest for info regarding No1 MkV as i am restoring a sported No1 Mk V, would suggest contact Peter Laidlericon, or the boys at EFD, if the fore end is similar to SMLE would say it could be, fore end stud and spring, nose cap interference with barrel, check inner barrel band, only other thing you say the rifle is gripped at the forestock is this by hand or benchrest?
