I have an odd problem with my SMLE #1 MKIII. The gun functions perfectly. As long as there is no extractor installed. When I install the extractor in the breechblock head the bolt will only go about 3/4 of the way in.

Should I just replace the entire bolt or what? I'm only planning this as a display model-- had to put a few rounds through it just for fun -- but I would like it to be correct.
