Any advice,
bought two surplus Enfield no4 mk1 and after researching about enfields different bolt heads, I decided to check the two rifles for proper headspace before I took them to the range. I used a "field" no go gauge and both bolts closed, one of the enfields had a no. 1 head and the other a no.2 so I switched the heads and the bolts still closed, I know enfields was designed with plenty of room in the chambers to allow for sand and gunk but how much is too much on these rifles?
