So a recently purchased SMLE 2A1 has been giving me extraction problems. Symptoms are stuck cases from some types of ammo, but not all. I assumed it was excessive headspace, but it turns out the headspace is tight. It will almost close on a forester 308 go gauge. I'm considering renting a pull through chamber reamer to open it up a few thousands. I'm looking for advice, tips and tricks before I proceed. I don't want to wreck the rifle.
Thanks,
Stephen
