    1903 bolt question

    Is there any problem putting a stripped bolt (without the striker/pin/sleeve assembly) into an M1903? I assume that is what needs to be done to check headspace?

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    That's how it's done...and there's no problem. Remove the extractor too.
