    1903-A3 Bolt question

    What type of replacement bolts for an 03-o3A3 are generally recognized as having a + tolerance for fit?
    HO, R marked doesn't matter I just want to tighten up a barrel receiver combo for a hunting rifle project. I have a spare square lugged bolt(s) that will work but do not like the aft end of them for how they react with the bolt sleeve assembly.
    Any suggestions on what to look for would be appreciated so I can source something if its available out there.

    Thanks-Brian

    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.

    R4 R6 bolts are a little longer at the bolt head. some CC bolts are also longer. but they are hit and miss.
