Preface: Yes,it is balancing on a deep well socket. The head space is phenomenal with a #1 bolt head in place. The bolt itself has been fitted accordingly with the locking lugs having equal contact on both sides. I set back the crown just in case the rifle is ever dropped barrel first. You never know. I fired a blank in it and measured the firing pin protrusion. It is at .0042". Good enough for me. Another Enfield brought back from the dead wearing sporterized clothing...

Great job! Now I have a new appreciation for those plastic gun stocks on a sporting rifle. I wonder if the draws touch the lugs in those crucial places? I built a similar rifle for a friend using a #4/MK2 action but the draws weren't anywhere near the metal lugs....maybe his was just like that, might not all be. His still shot fine but the two-stage trigger stopped being a 2-stage due to the angle of the trigger guard so I made another king screw collar that was longer to compensate for that but the trigger guard stood 'proud' of the fore end. ------------- Castles made of sand slip into the sea.....eventually |

| This particular ATI stock fits perfectly around the action and makes contact exactly where it should just like its military counterparts. The barrel however does need to be bedded accordingly. I can slip a piece of paper all the way down to the action. |

That's how they should be, just the first 1" or so contacting the bottom 3rd on center. ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |
