[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1165032, member: 90399"] Hello all. I'm turning a 30-06 into a 300 Win Mag. This is my first project of this kind. I just received my new bolt head from PT&G. On their website it clearly states "Drop in bolt head". When I opened the box there are multiple pieces of paper that state "Not a drop in item. Gunsmithing required. Some material will need to be removed from the back side of the locking lugs". I haven't fired the rifle yet because I don't have the new barrel yet. However the bolt does cycle in the receiver just fine. As long as I set my headspace when I install the new barrel; are there any reasons that I need to have a gunsmith involved for this new bolt head to work properly? My initial feeling is no. However I wanted to double check with you guys. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
