Bolt Assembly Screw Types

[olddav]

I've read the sticky and I hope I'm in the right place. My questions is, is there a difference between the Bolt Assembly Screw for a rifle and a shotgun? I was thinking that if the threads are the same then there might be a difference in strength, but as you may have guessed I have no knowledge of this subject.

Do you think the rifle one is inadequate for your rifle. The answer is the rifle one is plenty strong in fact it is probably overkill.

No, just the opposite. I was wondering that if some how I had one from a shotgun would it be strong enough for a rifle. That assumes that both have the same threads and dia. Looking at the way the bolt is constructed I'm thinking (again) that the BAS doesn't need to endure much stress, the bolt head on the other hand....
