Well that's very interesting! Don't think I've seen a clear illustration of where shims are placed before now. Hope that helps you Samurai.


This forum is a fantastic resource :thumbsup:

Sorry for the late reply, I'm going to try shimmimg soon, but I probably won't end up shooting it all that much anyway, I've got my refurb for that. It seems it had been shimmed already, but only in one of the spots shown, perhaps the other fell out while the dealer was disassembling it for shipping?

Such things have been known to happen.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
