I finally got some headspace gauges for 303 and put them through my Enfields. My No 1 is close, but the Pattern 14 is too close. It closes on the "No Go" and appears to close fully on the "Field" gauge.

How does one fix such a problem? If I remember right, the bolt is one piece, unlike the SMLE's with the screw-on head. New bolt body? Hate to do that with a matching gun, but a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do, I guess.
