How does that groove keep the bolt from being assembled? What is it that makes it not work? Have you taken any dimensional measurements to prove your problem?


If by some chance you noticed the difference and threw in the towel. Try this ...Take the bolt out of the rifle remove the old bolt handle. Push the baffle forward. Place the new bolt handle on the bolt body and turn pushing downward rotate the handle until the notches in the handle align with the keys on the end of the bolt body. You have a 50/50 chance of getting it right the first time..
