[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1734089, member: 13110"] You don't know that the other bolt will make the headspace out of spec and we don't know if the receiver was trued by the gunsmith. There is a lot of assuming that bolts vary greatly between multiples of these TL actions. I measure a bunch of them and they varied very little. I mentioned that earlier. If it was trued then it can vary some but if you know what is cut when a action is trued you'll realize many of the cuts basically zero out each other. For example: when you cut the face of the action and lug abutments, essentially the same amount, it's a net neutral change. If the back of the lugs on the bolt and bolt face of the action are cut then it would have a net increase in the headspace compared to a factory bolt. So if in fact the action was trued then the bolt swapped was totally stock it would tighten the headspace. If the action wasn't trued then I bet the two bolt were within .002 of each other. The ones I checked were within about .0015". I'm not defending TL as I think they were sloppy of on a bunch of tolerances and didn't even check multiple things that are critical to functioning properly. Supposedly they have fixed those issues but that doesn't fix the garbage they produced prior to the fix. Even their bolt stops were made too loose and would hang open on occasion. The sad thing is they didn't know (or want to admit they knew) many of those things despite making tons of actions for LAW prior to selling just actions. [/QUOTE]
