I posted a while back some pictures of a 1.3k serial springfield (more pictures below if you are interested). I took it to a gunsmith today to check the headspace and the bolt would not close on a 'go' gage. Since this rifle has an early (I believe someone said 1912 bolt) should I replace the whole bolt assembly and hope that this changes the headspace, or is that moronic? I can get it reamed for $20.

Thanks for any replies.
