I'm degreasing an Enfield No. 4/MK 1 rifle, and I noticed that the threaded bolt face--or head--turns in about 15 degrees beyond the normal operating position when the bolt is removed. Does this indicate excessive wear/use in and of itself?
BTW, I think the Enfield idea of easily replacable bolt faces is ingenious.
I reckon I'll get a headspace check before shooting it, assuming I'm successful in removing the twelve pounds of cosmoline left after initial cleaning!
