Asthetics
And a thinner wallet!
PTG bolt heads are made for the .145" dia. firing pin. Using the .098" dia. firing pin can cause ignition & accuracy problems.
What size firing pin do new Model 10s come with? I just installed a PTG PPC bolt head on a .308 bolt head, but haven't switched barrels yet, so don't know how it's going to work.Quote:

Fixed it 100%
As of 2001 .095" where it passes though bolthead retaining pin and the shaft of the bolthead to the vent.Quote:

That part has been discontinued.
What diameter did the older actions use? IE Flat backs
I changed a model 12 LRPV from the factory 378 to a PT&G 473 when I rebarreled to 6BR. I would not expect any change in performance due to the "floating" bolt head design.
