.473 to .532 bolt face question

[Willoughby]

Im building my pastor a LH Savage 300wm
starting with a LH 3006 donor action
I cant find a LH mag bolt head anywhere
so I decided to have the standard one milled out to mag diameter
I have a RH mag bolt head for comparison
taking both bolt heads apart it looks like it will not work
because the extractor hole is to close to the center on the .473 one
just wanted the expert's here to confirm this

oh yeah if anyone has a LH Mag bolt head they like to part with
or where one can be found - it would help a lot
thanks in advance

You will have to modify a PT&G long action bolt face if I am not mistaken.

They should be able to make just the bolt face. Even if they don't show it on their website, call and ask. I asked them about making a bolt face for a 224 wby mag which has its own case head size and they said no problem and cost the same as any other bolt head. I'd be willing to say they could and will help you out.

Is this what you are looking for?
