Sorry guys,I have been on a hunting trip so i have not been able to get back to anser any questions. There is nothing wrong with the bolt. I purchased it from ptg direct bare because i know dave personaly, for a project of mine and the reciver is from a 270 that i had. it comes with the fireing pin but no cocking meck or spring. no big deal. i was going to make a 300 norma off it but instead im going to just buy my wife a off the shelf rifle.any other questions i will try to get back to as soon as possible sorry.
