A different "Sunbeam" was also a long-lived automobile maker, probably more likely than the bakery! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunbeam_Motor_Car_Company |

Goosic, Yes, but not regularly, since I prefer my Enforcer. However, I can report that the L42 is deadly accurate within the limitations of its No. 32 derived scope. The No.4 Mk 1 (T) is also very good, but not to the same degree. I also occasionally shoot the L1A1, but without its IWS, since I do not have access to a range which is open at night! Terry

Yup. What’s the rim thickness on the gage?
Make sure you clean the back edge of the chamber well, any built up crud here will give a false reading.

I could be wrong here but the bolt head looks like it might not be sufficiently wound in.
hard to tell in the photo.

there is a mass of info on this forum about headspace, bolt heads and acceptable amount of "Clocking" ie how much the bolt head should move. be worthwhile having a read, you will be well repaid with the knowledge, also if unsure post a question, the amount of collective knowledge here with the members is awesome. and everyone loves responding.
great rifle you have there, would love one for my collection.

I think it’s just a shadow we are seeing. Just make sure the bolt head is screwed all the way down onto the bolt body before inserting the bolt assembly into the receiver. If it was off by one turn, I don’t think the bolt would turn very far at all.
With the bolt out of the receiver and the bolt head screwed all the way down, the bolt head should not over turn too far past the bolt body rib. Someone here will have a photo or sketch of this check. I’ll dig one up this morning if no one else posts something.

The maximum bolt head overturn is 20 degrees or 3/16 inch when measured at the outer corner of the bolt head.
