    Bolt Heads on T & T Action


    Changing a bolt head on a timed/trued action...does it require any modifications, or get one stock from anywhere, or back to SS?

    With the floating head I would change it out with a factory and reset the head space.
    Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!

    Truing the front surface of the bolt head is part of the T & T process.
    Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man, that he didn't already have.

    Stuff another bolt head on it and go shooting. The surfaced bolt head face won't make the bolt open or close any easier.

    A Nor Cal said, install another and go blast'n. The only reason to "true" a bolt head is to remove any dishing on the face and or chamfering on the edge of the pin hole, both of which generally amounts next to nothing.

    I only do them because I can otherwise I wouldn't bother.

    If you get a PT&G head the face is trued. The best of both worlds?
