Wanted: Savage model 12 bolt with magnum boltface

[wildcat westerner]

Hello,
I am seeking a Savage model 12 bolt with a magnum boltface. Please state the condition of the item you wish to sell me in very specific terms.

Thank You,

Be aware, very easy to buy a standard bolt action and replace the floating head with a Magnum one.

I am aware of this. Are you aware that when a magnum boltface is replaced on a bolt with standard boltface, the magnum is longer and the firing [pin will not fire without being altered on a lathe?

I was not aware of this. I was just about to buy a 110 savage action and switch the bolt head to a magnum... I thought that I could just adjust the firing pin extrusion, so this is good to know!

Couldn't you just replace the firing pin?

 

[grouse]

That's partially true. The ptg short action bolt heads are the same length as the standard bolt heads.

If you go factory bolt head, you will need a new firing pin or you may need to adjust the firing pin, if you have an older adjustable firing pin.

I have a complete magnum bolt I'll be listing soon.

 

[wildcat westerner]

Let me know.

SHORT-action magnum (0.532")-face bolt? The bolt is about 6-3/8" long?

 

[wildcat westerner]

OK, measuring my receiver its length is 5.98 and the port measures 3.01 long. Seems to me that .532 should fit the base of a .300 wsm, correct?

To be clear about this, if your magnum-face short-action bolt is about 6-3/8" long, I am definitely interested in buying it.

Somehow I am being misconstrued here. I am in the market for a Savage bolt.

My postings are addressing grouse.

Yes Jefferey, you are indeed addressing Grouse on a site I created since I am looking for a Savage. Electronically its known as poaching.

Oh, I didn't know I was not allowed to address the OP.
