Hello, I am new here. I was told about you by the awesome customer service at Gun Shack. I bought a used Axis in 270 that appears to be cobbled together by an unscrupulous seller. It appears new but has a 223 bolt head installed. obviously it wont chamber the 270, so upon finding the offending bolt head I ordered the 270 bolt head from Gun Shack. This of course did not work because the headspace is set for the shorter bolt for the 223. It took me about one minute to find the cause on this website search (big thanks) I need the short action bolt head for 308 which is shorter allowing proper firing pin protrusion but that has proved hard to find. So my question is:
Can I mill the 270 bolt shank to match the 223 length for firing pin protrusion and adjust the headspace to match the longer locking lug dimension and be OK??
Thanks in advance guys!
