NEARLY there TBone. But you can do it with TWO straight edges or ONE sheet of glass Instead of using vee blocks and a bar through the rearsight axis pin holes and the foresight block/protectors as on the No4, just use the vee blocks and bar through the backsight axis pin holes on the SMLE barrel against the known flat on the top of the body. When there is no rocking motion, it MUST be square.
Thanks very much, it sure is nice to have the good oil here. I'll use the vee block method from here on in.

Well, the replacement barrel came and is on the rifle ready to be test fired. The barrel condition is not great, with some frosting towards the end, so I am not sure how it will shoot. But I think I will try it before I look for another. It was not expensive, so I can afford to experiment.
Was looking on the web and found a website that was proclaiming the benefit of a .303 with the shoulder blown out, the .303 Epps. Wondered if that would be a possibility for my barrel with the rust/wear at the shoulder. Has anyone made up a rifle in .303 Epps?
