Bolt head change

[jschroed]

Are the bolt heads the same on both short and long action? I have a 116 with a mag bolt face that I'd like to make .473". If this will work is the Pacific Tool and Gauge bolt heads the way to go? Is there anything else I should consider?

Thanks

Long and short action boltheads are not the same.
Long action has a longer tail.( the part that goes in the bolt body )

also, as I have found out, the older recievers like mine, won't take the new style Bolt heads. But my 110 is from around 1965 so its probably not terribly applicable here.
