I am going to change the bolt face on my 116 from a large magnum rifle face to a large rifle face. This one. http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/bolt-parts/bolt-hardware/bolt-heads/bolt-head-prod20652.aspx
Will the current firing pin and ejector work or will I have to buy different ones?

If you look at the savage section here there is both information on both . http://www.switchbarrel.com/

There was another web page on midways page about the difference in the firing pins from over the years. I will look for it for you when I get home tonight.

I am looking for a bolt head for a magnum but need it yesterday!

Thanks. That confirms what I was thinking. From one of the links on there I might have to take a drill press to widen the hole for bevel part of the firing pin on the bolt head.
