    You need a WSM bolt face, short action. For the correct part number, see the bolt head article on the last page of the faq.
    Youll also need the axis style firing pin for the WSM chamberings to get the proper firing pin protrusion.

    Never mind, I see you mentioned buying a whole new firing pin. I didn't think there was a firing pin from a 110 that would fit the Axis.

    You're right, that firing pin will only work with the short actions. Trim 1/8" off the back of a 110 Magnum bolt face. I believe Fred sells them ready to go.
