    Bolt body question, LA vs SA


    I am building some tooling and assy fixtures and can use some help. Can anyone please tell me the length difference between a short action and long action bolt body?

    For example, my short action bolt body measures 5.318 overall length. How much longer is a LA bolt body?

    Internal part aside, does a 110 bolt use the same head, rear baffle and bolt handle as a 10 ?

    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Banning a gun will not solve what is a mental health crisis inflamed by incendiary rhetoric on social and television media. The first amendment in this case is less precious and more likely the causal factor than the second amendment.

    LA Bolt body OAL 6.115

    LA uses a different bolt head

    LA uses same bolt handle, front and rear baffle as the short action

    There are variations to the theme.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    Thanks, RH. That'll get me started. I tried the FAQ's for list of bolt head part numbers but couldn't find one.

    I remember someone (Mr. Furious?) posted a list of models and serial numbers so a person could order parts from Savage. I performed a search but turned up nothing. Not using the right words, I guess. Anyone save a link to that thread?

    Good shooting!

    Thanks, RS. That gives me more good information, some of the variations on a theme that RH mentioned.

    You guys are fantastic!
