No4 bolt hangup

**scharfschutzen63** · 10-03-2021 05:09 PM

I have a No4Mk1 and the bolt has a bit of a catch when it is first lifted. Something is preventing it from lifting initially and it kind of snaps up when enough force is used. Any ideas on a fix?

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.

Is the safety assembled correctly? There's part that could be in the way to the smallest degree...

You hit the nail on the head. I removed the safety, repositioned the part that articulates with the bolt and problem solved. Thank you.
