[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 1184524, member: 9964"] When replacing any bolt parts, one should check the headspace with both a Go and No Go Gauge. When replacing bolt bodies and bolt handles the primary extraction needs to be checked and adjusted. Most aftermarket parts are made long. Easier to shorten them than lengthen them. Savage bolts should be timed so the cocking piece pin does not bottom out on the bolt body. The firing pin should strike the primer and the firing pin stop should strike the bolt head.
