It’s a customized 303 it has a set trigger?

Maybe some pictures could help?

Sounds t me like you need a washer under the front guard screws
The wood may be punky and the frame not sitting properly and engages the sear too far?

Perhaps you are missing the steel pillar/sleeve that is supposed to space the front of the trigger guard away from the receiver? An yes...a pic would greatly help out as suggested..

Check out the rear of the forstock near the wrist. If the receiver is sitting too high off the wood from where it would of been prior to bedding then that could be a issue since the trigger is independent from the receiver.

There is a right and a wrong way to bed a full stocked Enfield, the proper way is called center bedding .
I suspect that the bedding may in fact be the issue, because unless a person is familiar with center bedding, they are likely going to mess stuff up on a full stocked No.4!

I removed all bedding trigger still not working.It looks like the trigger guard inletting is not deep enough because the rear of trigger guard with forestock removed goes higher than the screw hole in wrist with fore stock on the front of guard has to be lifted to put rear screw in.I hope this makes sense

Welcome to the wonderful world of stocking an enfield. Not a one day project. Ensure your trigger guard is straight as you could of bent it. Check on a flat surface. Pm me your email. I have some literature that will be helpful.
