? on Savage bolthead...

[tobnpr]

Converting a S/A .308 to .300 WSM (I'm modifying the receiver)
I can't find a short action magnum bolthead anywhere but high dolla lousy quality PTG...
I "think" I can modify a LA bolthead to fit, by simply shortening the stem?

Savage Arms Bolt Head Long Action Savage 110 to 116 Push Feed Small

This is a factory replacement stripped bolt head without the extractor or ejector assembly. It is built to the same specifications and made of the same...

Yes, back of the lugs to the cross pin hole is the same dimension on short and long action bolt heads.

Firing pin dia MAY be different,

yes it can be done, the firing pin is the same, the only difference is the long action lug is .500 and short action is .440 thick.
