    Ed,

    Sorry to say that I don't have the dimensions of the longer locking lug on the "*" marked bolt.

    You'd appreciate that a "*" marked bolt goes in a "*" marked receiver, and it is possible to use a non "*" marked bolt in a "*" receiver, but not possible for a "*" marked bolt to be fitted in a non "*" marked receiver?

    "*" Marked (Mark 1* rifles) receivers were machined to take the longer bolt lug.

    The No 2 on the receiver ring indicates the Eddystone No 2 magazine assembly. The No 2 magazine is not an interchangeable component with Remington or Winchester rifles. A No 1 magazine in a No 2 body will require adjustment to allow proper functioning of the lading from the front plate to allow the bullet to ride smoothly and unobstructed over it.
    Trying to save Service history, one rifle at a time...

  2. Thank You to 22SqnRAE For This Useful Post:
