I have the mentioned No 1 Mk III. it is in good shape for the most part. I'm not sure if this is a standard practice, but i have done it for years to avoid dry firing the rifle. the problem i have is that when the bolt is closed on an empty chamber with the trigger depressed, (so as to avoid cocking the firearm) the bolt catches up and will not slide home unless the bolt gets backed off a hair and then it will slide home. there is no other function problems with this rifle. all my other LEs function smoothly in this manner, from No1s to No5s.
any ideas?
