No.1 MkV vertical stringing

[jmoore]

Concerning shooting 1 to 1 1/2 MOA, thats w/ rifles known to shoot 1/2 MOA or better from a "machine" rest. That is I add about 1 MOA inaccuracy to whatwver rifle I'm shooting from my "luxury foxhole".

I will throw another curly one in the mix, boat tails v flat base. Some rifles dont like BTs. Keep having fun

I took the night off so mebbe I'll remember to find the MkV and measure it. Its hard to think of stuff after being up 23 hours straight. Ain't able to stay up days at a time anymore!

Bindi, it likes boat tails fine, unlike quite a few others I've shot.

The front trigger guard screw is tight but is there a chance that it's a bit too long and is bottoming out in the threads before the receiver and forend are in tight contact? Could the screw bushing be too long?

More likely the collar is too long. The wood has probably shrunk, or the collar was replaced with one that did not fit properly.

Seen that drama before, Steve, but think that's been checked. Overrun right now, but it'll be checked again. Can't promise quick feedback.

Mr. Duke, here's an example of "don't believe anything you see on the internet". The inner band location is NOT different than the SMLE Mk III. That jmoore fellow doesn't know what he's talkiing about!

Thanks Jmoore, some pics would be nice.

See the ongoing pic dramas in the Remington-Lee thread. I'm telling y'all my computer-fu is weak, and if work picks up I'll be back to lurking! But meantime I'll see ....
