    An old Sussex armourer told me it wasn't an uncommon problem ... and suggested I (gently) hammer down the groove lip on the bolt head, to make it a tighter fit. This I never did because I just didn't like the idea (of hammering my gun) and anyway, it has only jumped track a couple of times in about 20 odd years. However, it is certainly not caused by any WWI tolerance issues ... because my N°1 is a '39er.
