[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1360571, member: 24284"] When 'blue printing', there [B][I]are[/I][/B] other places machined upon, not just the bolt/bolt face. On a Savage, the barrel doesn't 'shoulder-up' like it does on a Winchester or Remington. I'd say the nut performs similarly, but not identically. And the locking abutments. Whether the bolt head 'floats' or not, preferably the bolt face should be at 90* to the center-line upon ignition with both lugs making full contact with their abutments. What if both lugs are not making contact? As the bolt head 'floats' , the lugs will both make contact, but the bolt face may not be 90* to the center-line anymore. You must have an old centerless grinder sitting idle and needing a job. [/QUOTE]
