    A short action RH .223 bolt head. You may need to open up the firing pin hole.

    I just bought a 308 striker but I think I am going to go with a .243 barrel when varmint hunting and use the 55-58gr bullets.

    The Striker bolt body has a bit punched through to the inside. This bit matches u shaped slots in the bolt head, essentially indexing the bolt head/bolt body. A new small-firing-pin-diameter bolt doesn't have the u shaped slots. Can I grind off the inside bolt body bit without causing any ill effects?
    Thanks;

    Yes, that is the preferred solution.
