He now has the same information as we have but he is still in need of a complete bolt assembly to put the information to use. Alot of information was just thrown at him all at once and that can be pretty scary to some.
To others it can be so scary that the original project at hand gets scrapped.
I was in communication with the OP in regards to this topic and I was informing him of what he will need to have done to get his rifle in working order once again. It is my hunch however that this will not be the case now.

That’s unfortunate. 

 But I would far rather have all the details and benefit of the experiences of others BEFORE I attempted the job rather than after.  None of this work is particularly difficult, but going at it blind is a sure way to get it wrong.

I was in fact relaying what needed to be done in regards to hand fitting a mismatched bolt to a reciever in my own subtle language. I get that Mr Laidler is very well recieved in the Enfield community and his material can be taken as the gospel of Matthew, Mark or Luke to some extent. My instructions concerning this topic are inline with that of Mr Laidler but without all the fanfare and hornblowing he does exude. I live by a standard. I will never lie to you and I will tell you the truth no matter how painful it may be. I do not have the equipment that Mr Laidler had at his disposal when he was employed and I do not have his field experience. I did however attend a very prestigious gunsmithing academy and can follow procedures with best of them. I can also offer sound advice as well.

Sorry, man I know you meant well.
If it helps:
Dear Mr O.P.
His bolt & head will have exactly the same issues as anyone else's bolt &head.
No More,
No less.
Think about it. Please?

I don't think it has.  All have opinions.  I am taking it all in as this is the first Enfield I have bought.  I think it is interesting.  It is the reason many got into milsurp for the adventure of finding facts we did not know.
