Now we are thinking. Identify the problem.

What happens to the sights when you tighten down the barrel? The solution is to remove the barrel, ream it, reattach the barrel to the receiver and check the headspace. Now, if there's a super long reamer (or some way to extend it), the receiver can probably stay on.
Post-war, means it's the M48 or M48A- mostly manufactured for commercial export.
It also means it's an intermediate length action like the M24, and a 98K "type" (large ring, large shank) bolt would be roughly 1/4" longer and it would be obvious if the bolt were "incorrect" as to it's compatibility with the action.
Mismatched, likely and could certainly be a cause for the inadequate headspace.
