Is this lee Enfield a no go?

[Patrick Chadwick]

Regular readers will know that I am not put off by external condition. I have refurbished (and shoot!) rifles that - externally - could be described as "tomato stakes", "sewer pipes" or just plain scrap. But they are all "good shootable" to "excellent" internally, and all bolts match.

The trouble with long distance evaluation is that you have no idea of the internal condition, and my own experience is that the seller's opinion is not worth much. So in the end it has to be hands-on evaluation.

In short, non-matching bolt rules it out IMHO, and the distance makes it certainly not worth going to have a look.
