I don't suppose somewhere in that wazoo you have a #3 bolt head for sale, do you?

I wish I did!

Even Springfield Sporters only lists #0 and #1. The #3 heads have gotten pretty scarce.

My best advice is to check other heads with calipers, or by trying them in your rifle with HS gauges. They do vary, even when they're supposed to be the same size.

Oh, and which spec gauges are you using? SAAMI no-go is 0.067", but the military spec is 0.070". The military field gauge was 0.074". Lots of rifles that fail with SAAMI gauges would be considered perfectly safe under the standard to which they were designed and built.

I'm looking for Longbranch, Savage, and Maltby. I've got Fazakerleys out the wazoo.

I have a Lee Enfield Mk 1 no. 4 FTR

Interested?

Could be, depending on the manufacturer. Got pics?

You can PM me or email me if you don't want to post it here.

Welcome!

I'm a commercial bullet caster

Cast only, or jacketed stuff too? There's a real need for someone to duplicate GP11 bullets for reloading 7.5 Swiss. The Berger VLD comes close, but isn't an exact match.

I didn't get to sell off that Lee Enfield

*perk!* Whatcha got? I'm an Enfield collector, so I'm always interested. PM me with the details, if you'd like.

Welcome to Texas, and welcome to the forum!
