Oh… you have an older rifle with a bolt like this, huh?
Opposed to newer bolts like this.
Yes, it’s like Fred said. Sorry. I didn’t even think about that. Well, if you have trouble finding one, I’m actually going to machine a new one from Titanium. I’ll give you my factory part when I do. I might even machine several in Titanium. We’ll see
You could also use a shim under the one you have. Haven’t tried this, but the argument is sound.
I would do this. (If I wasn’t making a whole new.) use some shim material. You can measure the diameter difference of the two bolts & use shim stock as close to that as possible. Cut a piece and drill the appropriate pin hole size through it. Then epoxy to the underside of the pin. When is cured, you can file, sand the excess. Or if you have the means, chuck it in a drill and spin against a grinder, belt sander.
Where would you put the shim?
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

Yes , with a newer bolt body . I really didn't know there was a difference till I did some diggen .
I'll take your factory pin and could you make me a Titanium pin . Not asking for a freeby .Oh… you have an older rifle with a bolt like this, huh?

Do you have a cocking pin that will work with a old style bolt with the new bolt body ?
Guess I need a new cocking pin for my new bolt body that will work with my old firing pin . LOL LOL That is crazy LOL I hope there is such a animal . LOL LOL
This old gun shoots pretty good it will got in the 1's in one time out of 5 100 yrd targets , I just wanted to take some of the slop out of the bolt . My old bolt had a dia of .293 and the new one has a dia of .7000 and it works in the old action pretty good .
The bigger bolt may feel better, but it won't necessarily shoot better. I've seen several cases of a larger diameter bolt body causing more flyers because of the fact it has removed some of the "float".

I agree. I’ll grab one at some point. Just haven’t up to now because there’s always something else, LOL!
Well I have ordered two new cocking pins for a later ( 2018 ) model savage and they are all the same as my old 2020 pin . Where can I order a new pin and get a pin with a thicker head ????
I just measured the head of both cicking pins and one is .024 thicker than the other . But the new one still will not work. I'm missing something here . Bolt bodies both measured the same , only defference is the dia on the bolt body at the cocking pin . The way I see it I need a cocking pin with the head .183 thick . No one has ever put a newer bolt body on a older bolt before ??
I posted a link in response #16. I’m not 100% positive it’s the correct one, but I believe it is. Check it out. I’m actually starting to machine a couple of these pins from Titanium this week. We’ll see how it goes.
The Cocking piece has been the same all the way up to the newer 1-piece style firing pin that has the cocking cocking piece built in. So yes, it’s the standard cocking piece pin still used in the higher end series 110’s & 12’s. But finding one in stock is the problem. Gun Shack does not have them.
Numrich has this one, but I’m not certain if it’s the thicker style.

Edit: on looking at the schematics & cross reference, I do think that is the thicker pin. It should work. If it doesn’t, I’ll give you mine. Again, I’m making some new ones anyway.
