"...headspacing isn't a big thing..." Yeah, it is. Thousands of Lee-Enfields have been assembled out of parts bins with zero QC. Isn't difficult to fix bad headspace, if you have the right bolt head. And matching numbers doesn't mean that bolt head gives good headspace. Not matching doesn't mean the headspace is bad either though.
The issue with that bolt is the finish is gone and the rust. Neither is particularly difficult to fix either, but I'd want proof of good headspace before driving 100 KM, never mind 500.
"...there even 500kms in NZicon..." Lengthwise with both islands, but not the width. snicker.
