Hi.
Can anyone give me info. on military bedding of the SMLE ? I have two and have had to replace the whole recoil lug area of one due to oil rotting and will be replacing the draws of the other and tightening it all up due to wood shrinkage. I know the action area bedding is similar to the No 4 but I can find no info anywhere on what happens forward of the knox form on the SMLE . My book "The Elements of Rifle Shooting" by Major Barlow, says that there should be free movement at the muzzle within the nosecap and that is easy to understand and the wood obviously must not touch the barrel forward of the knox form .It is the interaction between the inner band assembly and the fore end stud and spring that I don`t understand. Can anyone help?
