I bought a M-N No Go gauge from Yankee Engineers and today I thought I'd check the headspace on my M38 and 91/59. The M38 passed with no problems, but the 91/59 failed. I swapped bolts and got the opposite results. I then swapped bolt heads and 91/59 passed with M38 bolt head on the 91/59 bolt body. Interestingly, the M38 passed with the 91/59 bolt head on it's bolt body.
I know that the SMLEs have different sizes of bolt heads and the cure for failing is swapping in a different size bolt head. I've never heard of that with the M-N rifles, but I have to wonder if it's as simple as swapping bolt heads.
Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?
