1944 GRI No.1 MKIII

[Mk VII]

Often they will not interchange, and the use of the correct gauges is desirable to check CHS, striker protrusion, bolthead overturn, etc.

Thank you. That's discouraging. My bolt seems to have broke somehow. I took it to a gunsmith who said a "clip" or some piece broke off the bolt and it wouldn't close properly, which it doesn't. I finally found one on GB and bought it. I might have wasted $125.

Maybe you could show us a pic and we can help a bit more...to see what's actually at fault.

Right now all I have is my smart phone. So no pictures right now. I will try to figure out pics in a bit. I see no real difference between the two bolts externally. When I pull the old bolt part back(and it pulls the firing pin back) and release it quickly it doesn't snap forward like the replacement bolt does. Could it need a new spring? I no almost nothing about MKIII's.
