Looking for Enfield bolt head
 
I've been told that the headspace on my rifle "is excessive even for an Enfield" by a gunsmith. I have a #2 head on there now and was wondering if anyone has a 3 and a 4 that they would like to get rid of. If not, does anyone know of any place closer than Elwood Epps out of Ontario where I could order a bolt head from?

Thanks for any advice or suggestions for a newbie!

If it's really bad there is another option. The face of the bolt can be welded up with a TIG weld and then re-cut with the lathe to correct the headspace. Heat treatment is not an issue as the heads are butter soft to begin with and will not harden with welding. I am setting up a shop in town again but no idea when I might get it going. You might try Karl at KS arms he MIGHT do it! be prepared to drop $100 though. Rod Henrickson

Picked mine up last year from Lock & Load, Edmonton. $40

Thanks for the help guys! I'll start with the local ones this afternoon and work my way out from there.

Lock and Load is out of them unfortunately, that's where I originally took the rifle.
