    I had an epiphany! I took out the gunsmith's custom trigger and replaced it with an original. It worked. I think the bolt was hanging up on that trigger.

    Thanks for your help!

    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.

    Makes sense. Now you know gunsmiths don't necessarily know anything about what they're working on.

    Found the culprit. The custom made trigger made by the gunsmith!

    And your firing pin problem sounds like a weak firing pin spring. I've noticed that on quite a few Rosses. You could find a comparable spring or try getting the original re-tempered.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
