My 1937 vintage Model F Takedown does almost as well, but I haven't messed with it to try any shims. I can't recall reading any reports of whether to shim or to bed the forearm either, but I'll be watching this post to see the other replies.

Good luck with the work on your F.

Thanks.... I'll post photos soon. I also found a mint condition Redfield tang aperture sight I'm putting on. I may make a new front sight since I don't like the stock front bead sight. i'm gonna get some sheet metal, and make a squared-off front sight with nice sharp lines.
