I am building some tooling and assy fixtures and can use some help. Can anyone please tell me the length difference between a short action and long action bolt body?

For example, my short action bolt body measures 5.318 overall length. How much longer is a LA bolt body?

Internal part aside, does a 110 bolt use the same head, rear baffle and bolt handle as a 10 ?

Any help would be much appreciated!

LA Bolt body OAL 6.115

LA uses a different bolt head

LA uses same bolt handle, front and rear baffle as the short action

There are variations to the theme.

Thanks, RH. That'll get me started. I tried the FAQ's for list of bolt head part numbers but couldn't find one.

I remember someone (Mr. Furious?) posted a list of models and serial numbers so a person could order parts from Savage. I performed a search but turned up nothing. Not using the right words, I guess. Anyone save a link to that thread?

Good shooting!

Thanks, RS. That gives me more good information, some of the variations on a theme that RH mentioned.

You guys are fantastic!
