Not much knowledge here, but the No1 rifle was head spaced by fitting of a selected bolt head.

I suspect the info you are searching for is well documented. As a parallel, the U.S. made M1 Garand is very precisely documented. I understand that there were something like 700 machining operations in the manufacture of a Bren LMG. I'm guessing much of this had to be gauged.
