Adjust headspace on a Hakim

I recently picked up a Hakim and checked the headspace before heading to the range (good thing). I found that the chamber is short. The bolt will not close on a Forester GO gage. It also will not close on an 8mm cartridge. Is there any way to adjust or do I need to get the chamber reamed?

All advice is welcomed! Thanks

It is worth remembering these timeless words John Stuart Mill: "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse."
