Long action bolt head on a short action bolt
****ed if I can find a short action magnum bolthead anywhere, but may have found a fix for it.
All I did was cut a few coils of the firing pin spring and set the fire pin protusion.
The top is the SA bolthead and firing pin assembly.

Firing pin protrusion. Looks like I could back the magnum firing pin out slightly, even better (on left).

Shows the firing pin is not making direct contact with the bolt head (on left). If I back the firing in out slightly, even better with more clearance.

Just another pic of the of the firing pin assembly and the depth being screwed into the shroud (magnum on left).

I would rather mess with a $6 spring than a $25 bolt head.
Trigger pull is right at 3#, perfect for a hunting rifle.
