Sounds like a bent ejector or something. Sorry, not an Enfield man.

Sometimes, when I put one of my rifles into an overcrowded gun safe( good problem to have), I go to close the door and it gets jammed and I have to rearrange rifles. Does he have this problem and just slam the door on the gun?

It's bent...I'll give you $50 for it as is...
Sorry I had to
Sorry I had to
he didn't disassemble the safety assy and reassemble incorrectly? safety is in correct position ? safety bolt lock not sticking out a little too far. If I remember correctly they are adjustable as to how far they stick out.
Nope. It's all together properly.
I'm gonna' try to take some measurements (although it's nearly impossible to get calipers in there) to see if it appears to be sprung or spread.
OK...I finally hauled my MKII out of the safe and took a quick look at what the issue might be. It looks like the bolt could be hanging up because of...
Ejector screw interference
Safety is engaged
Sear is too high
Charger bridge is bent
Micrometer rear sight is not flipped to the upright position (if your MK I has one instead of standard L 300/600 sight)

Thanks, coolhand! Rear sight has been removed, so no interference there. I have eliminated ejector screw, sear, and safety; so that pretty much leaves the bridge being bent. That's basically what I've thought all along, especially since the rear sight has been totally removed, eliminating any support it gave to the bridge. I still need to put the calipers to both rifles and do some measuring. Maybe I can get that done soon, since I have some time off for the holidays. I really appreciate your checking out your MKII and providing input!
