Hello, Im working on remedying a severe headspace issue with my Canadianicon 1918 SMLE. The previous bolt was not matching, produced excessive headspace, and seemed very worn. I recieved an extremely good condition aussie bolt from a bloke online. I am working on getting it fitted to my reciever. The long lug barely engages, and the small lug doesnt engage at all. I understand the next step is to remove meterial from the long lug, until both lugs are evenly bearing, but I dont know of the best way to do this. Jewelers file, fine sandpaper, fine stone? This will be my first time working with locking lugs, so I intend on taking my time, to end with the best result for me and my rifle.
I appreciate any responses
