I would like to use an old model savage (pre-accustock) bolt a new Savage Accustock design gun. I like the bolt release at the trigger guard on the new design, but I don't like the "cocked" indicator in the bolt on the new design. I don't want the new bolt "cocked" indicator at all and would prefer not to have that hole that the indicator protrudes from out the back of the bolt (i.e. possible gas vent) pointed back to my eyes. Has anyone thought or tried this before? Am I being overly paranoid?

This hybrid rifle would not have a cocking indicator...but I don't ever remember needing one on any of my other rifles (bolt, semi-auto, or pump). Maybe I haven't been shooting enough outside the range to notice a need for a cocked indicator.

Thoughts? I appreciate any input.
