[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 557471, member: 9253"] Quit worrying about it. To relieve your anxieties study the action very carefully and think though what controls that tolerance and what effect it could have on shooting. There are three places which could determine the forward movement of the bolt. Those are: 1. The cutout for the bolt handle touching the bolt handle. 2. The bolt lugs touching the end back end of the barrel. 3. The rim around the bolt face touching the bottom of the bolt recess in the end of the barrel. The bolt shouldn't be touching any of those when the rifle is fired so it should not affect accuracy. None of those gaps set the headspace, but they all need clearance when the headspace is set.
