Bolt will not stay closed

[Surpmil]

Myself I was wondering how long it has been since Canadian Tire sold No4s!

I was wondering if the firing pin spring is broken or if the ends of the spring were not free to rotate. On top of this a old worn spring will grow in diameter when compressed and rub on the inside of the bolt.

How many things below could cause the bolt to fly open when the rifle is cocked????



Or to put it another way what item below stores rotational torque and helps create lift.



And guess what American products Ed sent to Waterfoot Lancashire U.K. in return for British Enfield manuals.



What ever happened to the good old days when you could get what you wanted for a pair of stockings or a Hershey chocolate bar

You have two choices, put ailerons on your Enfield bolt or fix, repair, replace the firing pin spring and extractor spring.
