[QUOTE="pavementends, post: 2860744, member: 103643"] As belted mag cases head space off of the belt there should be much less difference bolt to bolt than with cases that head space off of the datum line on the shoulder. Head space gauges should allow you to verify the bolt is safe in both rifles. Note one would use the same gauge. S&L made good stuff. On having a bolt made, if you found a shop that was just getting into CAD stuff it would be an interesting project to copy the bolt but not cheap. Since you will probably not be shooting both rifles at the same time I would verify the head space and move on. Of course that means selling one of them would be problematic. Final thought: If you can't measure it, it may be real but it ain't science. Final thought 2: If you are a hand loader and providing the bolt closes, you can size cases to head space off the shoulder although this may preclude using factory ammo. as [/QUOTE]
