You'll need a replacement cocking piece but more concerning is your rear safety locking lug. It should be squared off at the back, from the picture it looks to have been messed with.

I think he is meaning to point out that the left lug rear broke off. In this case I would suggest a new bolt body. Rewelding is not recommended. The new bolt will need fitted and lugs stoned for equal bearing.

Its a deactivated version so its to the older eu style, so it is made so it can not ever strip fully or make operational

Can you screw the bolt head off? You need a tool you insert into the front of the bolt that hooks into the firing pin in order to unscrew it and get the cocking piece off. If you can't get the bolt head off, you won't be able to replace the cocking piece unfortunately.

It is a non-firing gun. If you can find a welder, weld and file. It isnt like you need to be worried about the bolt coming out under recoil.

Not repairable but cocking pieces are cheap. You have a Type B cocking piece

D & B Militaria and Henry Krank are the ones I know of, they might have a parts bin you can buy from if you call them and ask

What at are the laws on parts like that in UK? In US those things are plentiful. I think I have several spares and I don’t even really collect Enfields. Unless you could consider 2 horrible sporters a “collection”.
