[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2860726, member: 27307"] Here is the other post from January 2023: [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/need-to-replace-a-schultz-and-larsen-m68dl-bolt.322016/[/URL] The headspace gauge for most standard belted magnums is 0.220" for the Go-Gauge which is from the base of the rim to the front of the belt. This is a standard for most belted magnum cartridges with only a couple of exceptions. As measured from the end of the case rim, the length to the end of the belt is approximately .219"-.220" [B]For comparison purposes, this length on the 450 Marlin case is .252"[/B] Any of the standard belted headspace gauge manufacturers will work for the 0.220" dimension. Be sure to check the gauge. You can even rent these for a small amount of money. At this point in time, unless the shop in Denmark can help, it's a good bet that you should start looking for a second rifle chambered for a standard belted magnum case. Finding a machine shop to manufacture a one-of-a-kind bolt (especially one for rear lugs) for a reasonable amount of money is not going to happen for several reasons. Just creating the drawings for manufacturing will be expensive. Locate a nice Schultz and Larsen M68 and buy it. Best. :) [/QUOTE]
