[QUOTE="WildBillG, post: 2172214, member: 106952"] The barrel on the donor action was stamped 270Wby. What I think happened is the guy I traded actions with was messing around with a bunch of Mk V actions. When I got a hold of him he through an action with a cut down barrel but never checked things close enough. The only difference between the 270 bolt and a 378 bolt is the amount cut out of the face. Easy enough to over look if you had a bunch of bolts lying on a counter. Both the gun smith and I assumed the bolt was a typical H&H bolt face. In fact I fired 8 rounds before I had a case not fly out when the bolt was opened. My first thought was did some thing happen to the extracter. [/QUOTE]
