[QUOTE="michaelnel, post: 1006405, member: 82754"] Hi Folks I have a Savage 12 Benchrest in 6mm BR. I have ordered the following and will receive them early next week: Criterion 30" Bull Barrel in 6mm BR PTG bolt head PTG bolt body PTG makes vague references to a need for gunsmithing to install the bolt head. I believe they just mean that I must do the headspace measurement with this assembled bolt, but I am not sure if I need to do more. I have emailed them, but no response. I do understand that I need to set the headspace with the new barrel and bolt, and I have the GO gauge (and will use the tape trick for NO GO). I have installed a Criterion barrel before, successfully, on my .308. ' Anything else I need to do for this job other than setting the headspace with the new barrel and the bolt with the new body and bolt head? I would think that with the floating bolt head design that lapping the lugs should not be necessary, but I am often wrong. Thank you! Michael [/QUOTE]
