I decided to start a new thread rather than hijack one. I am wondering if you can simply swap an old vertical pin bolt with a horizontal one?
Is it a simple swap?, I called Savage and they wouldn't touch it as it was made before their oldest records, and they won't be responsible. If yes, where do you find a lefty? I'm outta sources to search. I'm thinking of swapping barrels, and this seems to be the solution unless I just buy a new one.....
Yes, you can update the complete bolt by simply swapping it out with a newer bolt. Headspace should always be rechecked. As far as finding one, you could post a WTB in the classifieds, search the part finder for a suitable replacement and order it from Savage, check Midway and Brownells, or even try Fred at SSS or Jim at Northland.
Thank-you, I'll check.
Just so everyone's on the same page, the swap has to include swapping to a newer style barrel as well.
