[QUOTE="mitchell, post: 779036, member: 29545"] Hello gentlemen, My issue is I’m trying to build an edge on a savage target action. The action previously was a 6mm br so the bolt face was .473 so not thinking I ordered a magnum bolt head. Turns out it was for a long action and the shaft on the bolt head was roughly ¼ inch longer than the .473 one. So I order one for a WSM and it was .10” longer than the .473 one I tried extending the firing pin out to make but the firing pin falls just short of clearing the hole. So can anybody tell me what bolt head I need or what if anything can be done to use any of the bolt heads I have already? I’m really stuck here and its driving me nuts this is the last thing I have to do and I’ll have my edge up and running. Thanks Mitch [/QUOTE]
