The #7 Mark 1 was bought from Springfield Sporters and, as advertised, was received without the front half of the bolt.

I thought I could find the parts to complete the rifle but learned that they were not available anywhere.  So, I bought a #4 Mark 1 bolt for a 303 rifle, cut the bolt in half and mated it to the rear half of the bolt that came with the #7. 

Finished bolt with front half in place and bolt head has been head spaced.

Finished bolt showing offset firing pin hole for rimfire 22LR.

Mini-Lathe that I used to make a new firing pin and to turn the inner piece to hold the bolt and new half of bolt together.

First 25 yard target with new bolt installed.  The rifle shot great!
