			happycowboy, 
 
You do not sound too happy.  I hate to be a "Monday morning quarterback" here, but when I come across such cases, I ask the seller to strip the gun, remove the bolt or whatever at point of sale.  Failure to accomplish the task reduces the price big time. 
 
I looked at a N0.4 Mk1 once long ago and could not get the bolt out to view the bore.  The seller fussed with it a bit, put the rifle in his bench vise and tore a few fingernails and did not remove the bolt.  I got the rifle for $15.00.  The locking bolt latch was abused and for $3.50 I got a new gizmo.  Oh, the bore was perfect and the rifle had matching numbers.
