"Double Naught" bolt head in L42a1?

[jmoore]

From Peter Laidler's "L39... Weekend Reading" thread I saw that "00" bolt heads were made for these rifles. I'm hoping that would also be the case for L42a1's as that's what is in my nice "new" flogged out rifle. (Logic doesn't always apply when there's manuals and forms to be followed...)

From the article:
"Now here’s a surprise…….. Para 20 states that certain rifles are fitted with a special factory size 00 bolt head. ‘……..at the factory only, it is used when assembly tolerances require a smaller had than a ‘0’. The bolt head is special and is not provisioned as a spare’."
