The WSM's use a thinker bolt head and thus use a longer firing pin.

Old Savages like from the 90's on back used a larger diameter pin. Anything in the last 10-15 years (give or take) should have the smaller diameter pin. Now in your case since you have the WSM the pin will be the smaller diameter but your pin is longer than a standard Short action pin and shorter than a Long action pin. To do the conversion you want, you will need a standard Short action, small diameter pin (assuming you get a newer style bolt head for the small diameter pin) to go with the standard size bolt head. I hope that all makes sense. if it doesn't, PM me and I'll get you my number and help talk you through.
