Thread: Sporterised Lee Enfields - accuracy ??

Tentman, remove the top wood, shorten the bottom wood - just shy of the first steel belt/loop.

To prepare the rifle for bedding Ill run masking tape around the barrel(in the area where the wood stops) to keep a gap of 2mm between the barrel and the wood.
I'll bed the area around the recoil lug, making sure to bed the area under the barrel as well - 1.5 inches infront of the action.

The tension created on the frontend between the front action screw and the small bolt that goes right through the wood (near the back end) will keep the wood away from the barrel.

Nethan Foster has a very nice youtube video about bedding a Lee Enfield no4 mk 1. Google it if you could?
