I am having the dickens finding a replacement for the bolt head.
I ordered a part from Midwayusa that was not correct. My fault probably.
The correct part is eluding me though, and I am pretty good at sleuthing out that stuff. (there is a LOT of products that are "out of stock - no back order)
I bought this rifle second hand and started developing loads, but noticed odd primer flow? Inspecting the bolt face I noticed a burr around the firing pin hole. This prompted my search for a replacement bolt head.
That is the backstory in a nut shell.
Questions to the Forum:
1) Is the noted defect a valid reason to replace the part?
2) Could the remedy be as simple as taking a 60 degree chamfer after the burr (sans power attachment)
3) I have to consider an underlying problem that would move material from the firing pin hole - ideas?
I really just want to be launching great big projectiles and not bother with all this "stuff". The obsessive side of me won't sit still though.
Thanks in advance for the wealth of knowledge issuing forth from the collective!
