I have a model 110F 7mm rem mag action that I am building into a .223. I bought a Long Action .223 bolt head with the front baffle for this build. This baffle will not go into the action. The bolt head will but it has a small pin that fits into a groove on the front baffle ( 7mm mag action front collar does not have this groove). Got out the mics and .223 front collar is .007 thicker than the 7mm mag collar. I also checked the diameter of the firing pin holes thru the bolt head face and they are the same. Is it possible to remove the small pin from the .223 bolt head and use the 7mm mag collar with all other original parts from the 7mm mag action? I know I would have to reset firing pin protrusion. I believe I read that .035 is optimal. Many thanks in advance to those taking their time to pass on their knowledge to me.
PS: After further research I believe the bolt head is from a long action Model J.
