No4 Bolt Advice

[Singer B]

So I picked up the No 5 yesterday. The bolts from both the No 5 and the No 4 work flawlessly in the No 5. When I tried them in the No 4, they both displayed resistance in the same exact place. This leads me to believe the problem lies with the receiver. Since I am not a gunsmith, I think I will probably take it to my gunsmith and see if he can find the cause.

Does your gunsmith have sufficient knowldege of the Enfields, AND, the correct gauges to check it is not twisted or stretched ?

I'd suggest you send it to Brian Dick who is one of the top Enfield smiths in the US
