[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 2258110, member: 18849"] Coloring of the bolt face looks normal and just like a brand new spare I have in my savage parts stash. Primer craters are often common in most savages as the firing pin holes tend to be a poor fit for savage firing pins. The bolt head can be bushed to cure this. They can be changed out in a matter of minutes so replacing the bolt head may cure any problems with firing pin fit. Also you didn't mention the primer brand. Winchester & Remington primers have often flattened more for me than cci orfederal. Magnum primers have thicker cups and do not "flow" around firing pins as easy as others. Btw the primers in the photos did not appear flattened to me. A good indicator of a flattened primer is to remove them and a side view looks like a top hat. [/QUOTE]
