Good evening,

I am in the process of putting together a F-TR rig for my son and I have run across something odd. The action I am using is a 12FV that has a 308 bolt face. I was going to order a .223 bolt face for it and saw midway had a complete .223 bolt on clearance description said "M10 and M11 .223 short action right hand bolt assembly" so I ordered it, then I can just swap bolts. The bolt showed up I put it in the action (no barrel) and the bolt won't close. Tried it in a few other actions still won't close. If I loosen the bolt assembly screw three turns it will close, or course the bolt handle is loose.

I measured the bare bolt body it is 5.133" I checked two other bolts and two striker bolts and the bodies all measure 5.198-5.202. So do I have a bolt body made to short or am I missing something here?

Thanks

Adam
