**rgg_7** · 09-22-2012 10:33 AM

I've posted this on a couple sites and got a couple leads that I've followed up.The following here is much brader so here goes.

Need a No8 bolt head complete to help a young shooter out. I've got the complete bolt body however no bolt head assembly. I Would take a bolt head bare if available as i have a source for a firing pin.will check headspace once I get a head. Any leads greatfully appreciated. Ron (Canada icon

) PS I've tried P Laidler icon

and Brian Dick icon

...great guys however don't have the required part.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I don't know where you are but you could try Phil Rose at pjrcollectables@hotmail.co.uk, however I am not sure if Phil sends this sort of part outside the UK icon

. Good luck

Can you help here Skippy?

I'm in Canada icon

...any help on this would be appreciate. Can't see any reason preventing a private citizen mailing a stripped down part. I'll deal with any headspace issue once I get the bolt head. Thanks, Ron

Ron - the problem is that in the UK icon

the bolt head is classed as one of the 'pressure parts' (the same as the action, barrel and bolt) and hence needs an FAC (firearms certificate) or an RFD licence (Registered Firearms Dealer). The problems to sell / ship would be the same as for a complete rifle.

ha Peter.... If I need a new bolt head ..... they now come in 3 sizes ..... short butt .....normal butt ..... and........ long butt ,
many repairs now end up with an exchange for a "New" rifle..

Ron, have left a message for a dealer I know, its a long shot but he may have one.

( Have located one but its bare and a No2 ) have sent a PM
