Great series. I followed your advice on shimming the upper front handguard off the rear site and just destroyed my groups. Went from 2" to 5" at 100m. I removed all shims and went back to 2". I'm puzzled. Do you think I should just remove enough wood so the handguard doesn't contact the rear sight instead of shimming? Or could it be that contacting the rear sight is somehow correcting a different issue?
Very informative. How do you feel about the hand guards that have the "ears" around the sight base removed by the arsenal? I'm restoring a 1918 III * and I am considering purchasing a set of these.
Interesting material, soft voice occluded by wind. Get a bit of foam to cover the mike. Also, please put a center dot on your mat, then center your camera on it. Be certain that all critical details take place at that dot.
I am considering purchasing a No1 mk3 from a friend and the only thing wrong is the wood that has the 2 brass pins in it right behind the rear sight is loose. Any way to fix it and would I have to worry about it because it will not come off but it’s loose

I'm glad you did not turn out to be a gun hater in your life, then I would get to learn all this great stuff, thank you.

good information, shame you can't see whats going on half the video. :(
True
Please refilm the last part...can't see!!
so how does this paper go when your rifle gets wet?
hello,
Is there a way to tighten the bolt to reduce headspace. ?
thanks
Yes, there are different sized bolt heads. If you get a longer one, it will tighten up the headspace a bit.
way too much wind noise and your camera skills are seriously lacking as half of what you say cant been seen-clicked off
