[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Enfield Bolt Head Question

Posted: 7/11/2008 8:46:59 PM EDT

I know that I need to repalce My NO4 MK3's bolt head, however my buddy tells me that I need to go hp to a size 6. I thought that the Enfield stopped at size four or five. Can any one clarify this for me?

I heard they came out with a 6 later in the war, but I have never seen one. If it's that far out I would probably take it to a gunsmith. I'm sure someone here knows for sure, but if not, try posting you question over at surplusrifles.com.

I never have heard of a No 4 Mk3. A size 3 bolthead is the biggest that I've seen. You need a headspace gage.

My friend is a gunsmith and he did guage it for me, hence the recommendation for the larger bolthead.

#0/#1/#2/#3 is all my book says. With the #3's being very hard to find.

I've got a #3. As near as I can tell my JC was made with one. My No. 4 Mk2 was made with a #2 bolt head.
