I have a buddy that has a No.4 Enfield that currently has a #1 bolt head. However, the head space is too tight and it will not close on a case. We have gotten a #0 bolt head and I believe that putting this on the bolt body may well fix the problem. However, there is a problem. When you put the #0 bolt head on the existing bolt body, it likes about 4mm lining up with the locking lug on the bolt body, therefore I cannot get it into the rifle. I believe that I need to polish the back of the bolt head a little bit so that it will get the final little bit of rotation that will allow it to properly mount to the bolt body. Is my logic sound? Also, does anyone have a trick for inserting the spring and the extractor into the bolt head? Thanks!
