Hi! I bought a new No.4 fore end. Not new, i apologize; a fore end that needs a linseed oilicon drink. Draws we're unfitted, so i did it. Then i reassembled fore end to the rifle and noticed that fore end tip was too much close to front sight base. What is the correct clearence here ( if there's one) ?

Now i have removed 1,5 mm from the wirst face of fore end and repatched the draws. My obiective is to force the fore end to come towards buttsocket 1,5 mm. But...the fore end doesn't move 1,5 mm desired. I suspect the iron the iron ahead front handguard screw will contact the wood wedge under the ring...

What i have to do?
