I am new to shooting and have not shot my No4Mk1* yet. I measured the rim thickness of a shell and it is 0.060" I can barely chamber a shell with 3 layers of electrical tape on the back of the shell for a thickness of about 0.080". I am pretty sure that is too much headspace. My bolt face is a #0. I would like to get a #3 bolt face, but I have no idea where to find one. What should I do? Is there a way for a gunsmith to fix this without the longer bolt face? I have not fired the rifle yet.
Also- The barrel does not seem to be fixed to the stock at the muzzle end. I can wiggle it back and forth about 3mm. Is that just free floating? Or should I worry?
Thanks. I live in GA if that matters.
