This is just an idea I have had for some time for a rifle that must never fire full pressure loads. (I know I should just chop up the action body but that's a nudder story). OK, so the idea is to make a neat fitting shoulder insert and secure it with non other than high strength Loctite. Difficulties I foresee would be firstly making the said insert to exactly fit the existing shoulder which can be done. Then there is mating the extended throat with the existing throat. I see that as being tricky without the appropriate reamer. If it is slightly larger that's fine but if there is a gap then there would (or could) be a problem with extraction. However, I have a rust pitted action that fires full power loads without bulging the neck into those pits (large open but shallow pits) so with keeping to the intended low pressure loads that may not be a problem.
The advantages would be a longer neck which could hold a fibre wad. Disadvantage would be a difficult job.
Reality check? Is this a hair brained idea?
Bear in mind that I want a dedicated low pressure Lee Enfield and this one cannot shoot normal bullets due to an oversize bore and chamber and cannot shoot normal pressure loads because only the inner lug bears.
