Bolt on Eddystone 1917 wont chamber a round?

[Randy A]

Well, I wouldn't recommend modifying your rifle based on feedback from a snap cap. As far as the cartridge protruding from the chamber a bit, they do slightly. I would try to cycle some factory ammo through it before messing with everything.
As far as the extractor, might be wrong one, did you feed the cartridge in from the mag or just drop it in and chamber it. If the extractor is wrong it may be hard to cam over the rim of the cartridge. try feeding from magazine.
