No, that is a No. 4, Mark 1 or Mark 1*. The bolt heads come in sizes numbered 0-3. Why did you change from the original "1" head to an entirely different "1" head? You could go with a "0" head but that might increase the headspace too much. What you need is a headspace gauge and a good micrometer.

That rifle does look good and Bubba-ed, there is a good deal of metal that has been removed from the top of the receiver, specifically the charger clip guides. It also looks like most of the back edge where the sights are pinned in place has been milled off.
