model 11 bolt different than 10 or 12?
i thought they were all the same but i got my m11 action back from cdi today and started taking the bolt apart to change handles and bolt heads and noticed it is completely different than all my other savages....
when i looked it up on savage parts finder a few of the things that i noticed pn's being different for were (schematics show same picture but link to different parts)
bolt assy screw BOLT ASSY SCREW, LWH, MATTE - P/N: 108717
firing pin
FIRING PIN, SHORT, STD - P/N: 108691
this one has a hollow bolt assy screw that you cant get a allen key into untill the pin is dropped because the pin comes almost to the surface of the screw head. the pin and springs are all different than im used to also. the springs are between the bolt scrfew and the pin rather than wrapped around the pin.
does this require a different bolt head also? i was planning to put a .308 bolt head on it to use for .22-250 but the bolt head i have is from a bolt with the other style of pin.
is this a newer or older style setup than the others? better or worse? compatible with the same bolt heads?

Is a tool available for the newest bolt assembly crew?

Seems kinda goofy to me. Changing "what is" on one so they all match in case you gotta replace parts again in the future. That's kinda taking the whole concept of being prepared to a whole new level!
You aren't by chance a "prepper", are you? ;)
Oh, geez. I'm a prepper, and now I gotta rethink my entire strategy here! :)
Apologies for a question a long time after the original post. Hopefully one will pick this up.
I notice that the bolt assembly screw shown in the current (8/2019) online Savage catalog for the 110 classic rifle has a new design for the bolt assembly screw. It is not a slot or hex. Does anyone now where one can get a tool to fit this new design?
I would like to replace the original bolt with the Tacticool version from Sharp Shooter supply.
Thanks.
