Default 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

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.
