I have several model 12 Savage bench rest rifles I just had the chance to buy a 25-300 WSM barrel and all the reloading accessories for a real good price.
Here is my question I have an extra bolt that has the small bolt face and I got the parts to convert it to a magnum bolt face but it is .1220 longer that the other bolt faces. Is it OK to just not thread the barrel in as far or did I get the wrong bolt face/ It is a short action.
