    I understand that, but I want the gun set up by the book. I don't want any chance of the wood warping due to my fitting.

    When the wood was set up horribly, the gun shot 2MOA with undeveloped handloads, quite remarkable. If I wanted the most accurate I would have left it as is, but as stated before, I want the gun set up by the book.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    That's not what causes warping or twisting. Although Ontario's humid summers can be almost unbearable, they aren't sufficient to cause warping. Not like some of the member's here have experienced in their home areas.

    Doesn't sound like it was set up so badly...
