Inserting Bolt in MK II

**kanterj** · 04-19-2015 12:45 PM

I just got an 1905 MKII and the bolt was shipped separately. I can't figure out how to insert the bolt. It seems that the extractor is out of position and I can't rotate it. I usually figure these these out, but this eludes me. I've seen a picture of how it should look, but getting there is the problem

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Can you post a picture of what it looks like now? Someone here will have a solution. Tom

Solved the problem! The bolt head is pulled out and and rotated under tension as the bolt is inserted. No wonder one of my books says its best to leave the sucker in!
