    1891 Argentine Carbine Head Clearance

    Hello,
    New here but have been reading and learning from here and other sites.
    Have just started collecting milsurps of interest to me. Mostly Spanish and Argentineicon both rifles and pistols. I currently have two 1891 Argentine Calvary Carbines and three Spanish Star pistols (1922 Gardia Civil, 1943 modelo A, and 1956 modelo B)

    Just wondering if there is a way to check what the bolt/cartridge clearance of my 1891 Argentine Calvary Carbines is.
    Ive read about resizing brass in small increments and testing each for fit, but then I saw a reference to checking the "Head Clearance".
    Ive searched here and have been unable to fine the instructions.
    All help in pointing me to those directions is appreciated.

    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.
