On that note I would never fire a weapon that has had its bolt swapped without checking headspace unless it was life or death. This is very important. You may get away with bad heapspace for 20,30,100,2000 rounds but on the 2001th it could bulge your trunnion and really do a number on your hands and face headspace must be checked .With that bear in mind if your weapon comes up with exesive heapspace the only way to fix it is remove the barrell pin and advance or retract barrel, drilling for bigger barrel pin and installing new pin witch is quite an undertaking. Just so u nKnow you could swap the bolt and work ramp and still have a boat anchor, Good luck, and Sorry for the winded reply
