My apprenticeship in learning from case separation to fixing a chambering problem

[Boltcarrier]

Thanks to all those provided helpful comments which really was the reason why I was able to solve my problem with my Lee Enfield's difficulty in chambering


it was a journey from first a problem with case separation and then I can't put a cartridge into the chamber.

once again, appreciate all those who are willing to share their experience so that I can shoot with this gun again.

I keep a set in my shooting box (303, 30-06) to keep my shooting trips productive. BTW, even though your spoon trick worked, I would have used a small funnel to get the Cerrosafe straight into the chamber.

The chamber as it now exists will most likely cause more problems with reloading. Be cautious.

Will be up to OP to tell us, but if he went at only one part of that chamber with 120 grit sandpaper (I did not watch the entire video), then I doubt the chamber walls are shiny smooth like a mirror, nor is it round any longer - will likely be "lob sided" - will be interesting to hear how fired cases extract and whether they can be re-inserted or not - likely to be "lob sided" and can only go back in there in one orientation. But, maybe it worked?? Let us know...

The apprenticeship will continue, as stated above. If the divots were only "emeried" to get rid of the protrusions, then depressions still remain. Upon firing, the case will expand and stick in the chamber, or fail locally (bad news). If the divots were emeried to get rid of the divots entirely, other problems will likely occur, as stated by Mr Potash.
