1912 SMLE Enfield Retoration Project Wrap-up

[Longlee]

I am in the final stages of bring a sporterized version of this rifle back to its full military condition. It had a FTR, maybe done by BSA, so I'm trying to keep this refurb true to that FTR.
Questions
Would this nosecap have a small or large diameter head cross-screw?
I think that I have the draws nice and tight on the replacement forend and I have barrel to wood contact only an inch on either side of the inner band area, under the barrel reinforce and the lower surface of the receiver.. I'm a little unsure of the bedding of the barrel from from the inner band to the muzzle. Apparently the barrel must not touch the inner surfaces of the nosecap but how is this possible when the sprung plunger is pushing it upward?
