Got a 12FV in .223 and bought a new barrel in 6.5x284. Swap went ok till I fitted the recoil lug to the reciever, it's not flush, I suppse some minor filing will get it to mate so that there is no uneven pressure on the face of the action. That's probably the easier problem, two more which I don't know what to do with and am asking for a little guidance.

You'll see in the photo below that the bolt head I bought is different, the old one is on top, new one on bottom. See the cutout on the rear of the bolt head on top? The new one does not have that and will not go into the bolt body... What is the fix for this? Did I buy the wrong head? File out the indent in the bolt body? I don't have the ability to mill out a cutout on the bolt head as the old one was done...

Problem three is the magazine, I was mistakenly under the impression the 112FV was a long action, yet a long action magazine body will not fit as you can clearly see. What mag body will fit the 6.5x284 and this action?

Any help, corrections or advice will be greatly appreciated. This is my first Savage swap and I goofed it up a bit.
