I read somewhere that matching numbers on Long lees' is fairly uncommon. Is this true or is it like other enfields, lots of matching, lots not. I'm just wondering because I have two right now and I'm going to restore one and sell the other. One has an excellent bore, .074 headspace (needs a new bolthead maybe?) and matching bolt, barrel and receiver. The other has a VG barrel, great bluing and headspace with a force matched bolt. thoughts?
 
your.74 head space is fine (max mil spec, but finding a new bolthead is not going to be easy), numbers should match but like other enfields many were force matched and may not be matching, and less desireable.
