[QUOTE="cajun, post: 2793276, member: 9772"] So put together a savage with prefit barrel. During initial range session decided to check action screw torque and wound up having the bolt head contact the front action screw. I know but sometimes kids don't understand if it don't fit don't force it lol. Anyway put a gouge on the side of the bolt. I can polish off the ridge but it is gouged a bit. I’m guess since it’s not on the front or back edges it shouldn't effect the headspace. Of course I can check it and adjust if necessary. Other than lug contact any other issues with this? I may just change out the bolt head. It’s easy enough on the savage. [/QUOTE]
