Is there a reason to check headspace on a Enfield No4 MKI whose bolt is numbered the same as the receiver? Let's discuss the case wherein a rifle with a very good/excellent bore(not excessively worne)is involved.

I have had Endields checked with headspace gauges by my gunsmith but I wonder if it is a practical safety concern in the case as described above?
