Why not just buy a new WSM bolthead?
I am wanting to take (what I believe is a long action .532" magnum bolt head) and trim enough off in order to use it in a short action bolt. Who has done this, (or had it done) and could you provide pictures on the "tail end".
From what I understand you need to trim off .185" off of the "tail end" in order to use it in a short action bolt.
I don't want to go with the a whole other firing pin, newer magnum bolt head, and the relieved front baffle.
Who can help?

Make it match the head your trading out and your pin length can stay the same. :)

factory WSM receivers use controlled round feed and ejection. you could, but you would have no ejector.Originally Posted by dcloco
