Two actions, one bolt

[dukers]

Okay here is the deal, I have a build on hold waiting on a bolt head from PTG and a PD shoot booked for the first of October. I would like for the build to play a major role in the outing as it will be in 20 SCC, a 20 VT on steroids so barrel heat will be considerably less than the other guns I will be taking. My question is other than head space, what would be the negative issues with using the bolt from a M11 in 204R and going forward with the build to head space the M11 20 SCC build, I could then use both guns with the same bolt.

As long as both rifles are headspace with the same bolt it will work,I have done the same thing.

That was what I was thinking but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

yep, I have done it too. Good to go as long as both headspaced on the bolt you will be using.

I wouldn't do this on a continuous basis but as long as the firing system passes the bump test and you set head space, I'd say carry on and enjoy.
