Does it close all the way? The locking lugs on the P'14 are of interrupted thread type, and have a leverage of about 100:1. So its not hard to misread. However, these do seem to run on the largish side, not generally a problem, but to maximize case life just fire new cases w/ the little o-ring around the base of the case as described by Edward Horton on the Lee Enfield and ammo forums. (Just search posts by Edward Horton- they won't be hard to find.)
If you haven't had problems w/ the other two there's no reason to expect the end of the world now!

Advisory Panel
agreed.
when checking headspace on a 17 or 14, remove the firing pin assembly, and be gentle.
a fired case is your best tell tail sign.
this week, ill be turning back a shoulder on a 17, against my better judgemet,
said rifle has some granddad value, so im gonna do it..
im still waiting on a reamer for the cone breach..if it didnt have an extractor cut already, i could just use a standard cutter.
but with that cut, i need a nice matching reamer.
said rifle had been sporterized, so the barrel has already been cut, and messed with, this rifle had a case head fail, and broke the stock as well...
ill keep you posted how it turns out..
