There should be no reason to anything other than fit the forend so that it gives correct military bedding.
Unless the existing forend is damaged or warped in some way, there shouldn't be any need to replace it.
What exactly is the shooting problem with the rifle? The most common problems on 4(T)s is either a worn out barrel or a loose pad.

The only minor problem you might encounter, and I don't really understand your question, but if you're refitting the/a fore-end you might load up the muzzle bearing a tad greater that the weight you had previously so slightly alter the damping harmonics. But nothing more than one variation of foresight blade up/down

For a start, the front trigger guard screw (King screw) collar must be too long, if the screw tightening is not pulling the receiver into the forend. If a new collar has been fitted, then it will almost certainly need to be trimmed a bit.
The barreled action should be a reasonably firm drop-in fit. If the forend is loose on the action, it also suggests that the recoil faces are damaged or indented. They should be patched.
These are two remedies that should be attempted before any "bedding" work.
Can you post some photos of the inside of the rifle and the inside of the forend? Do you have access to a firearms dealer or someone who is knowledgeable about Enfields?

Stock maker T-Box
Hey T-box thanks for the reply and info I do have a professional stock maker engaged to do the re bedding I have seen his work on his 303's and my friends 460 Weatherby Magnum, he is going to give it the Fulton treatment which should outlast me and hopefully a long shooting career for my son as long as he hedges the T.
I do appreciate the forum as there is allot of knowledge out there and I for one hope it is passed on for generations to come.
They are all out there Laidler, Brian Dick, Skennerton, Brian Labudda, tbonesmith, Ridolpho, Warpig and others to numerous to mention, I am on a journey with my BSA Shirley 15 years I waited till I could afford one, now I have one, I have the draw scope a repro sight tin but the transit case I may be lucky to buy one or I will build one myself if some one gives me the specs and what hinges it takes detailed pics would be good.

In reply to the loose pad the whole action was moving the front pad set was re done as described in an earlier speel as per pics I sent in My BSA Shirley T to my mind when I stripped it as it was a bit gunky I think my not friend had shot it as described with a loose action and the draws looked flaired and smacked around so it is off to the Dr's watch this space.
