I have recently purchased a 1941 Lithgowicon #1 MK 3*, that has had a heavy barrell fitted to it at some time in its past life. It is also fitted with a Parker Hale aperture sight. Bought it on an impulse, so, took it to the range for a test fire. I checked the head space using "Go" "No Go" guages prior to going to the range, all seemed fine. However, first shot, the bolt fired, the cartridge however did not! When ejected, there was no firing pin mark on the primer, although when inspecting the bolt, the firing pin was visibly protruding from the bolt head.
Please, can any one suggest what my next step should be?
