I need a complete bolt to replace a damaged one that won't headspace correctly. This is a slightly unusual bolt rifle rechambered to .45-70. I'll pay for shipping to help me get this rifle shooting.
Thank you, Chuck

You don't need a whole bolt to head space. The Lee enfield uses bolt heads which can be screwed off and you pick the size you need for correct headspace. They are marked 0, 1, etc.

Bolt head sizes at the link. Measurements show variations for the different numbers.

No4 & No5 Bolt Head Sizes (Update)

Assome of youmay remember I have been compiling a spreadsheet of bolt head sizes for a few years now,...

If you do this, be sure to measure both your bolt head and the new one. It is possible you could go a number higher and get one actually smaller.

Thank you to the members replies. This is very helpful information and guides me greatly. Are there favorite suppliers who may have these bolt heads in stock?

I'd try Numrich..... I'm not sure what number you need though!
