[QUOTE="Millerdog, post: 3043731, member: 42966"] Head spacing is a must when building a rifle. That's a lot of pressure your dealing with and you wouldn't want it blown in your face when shooting it. You can use a bolt from another gun but finding the right bolt will be fun since there are several types i.e., single lug, dual lug, triple lug. If it is a German 8mm you definitely want the three locking lugs but your receiver has to be made for that type of bolt. It's work that a experienced gunsmith should do though. I used to buy these way back when they were plentyful like the mosin nagant are now and make sporter rifles out of them. I used to remove the soldered on sights and turn the barrels, grind the receiver to accept scope rings and forge the bolt handle to miss the scope. They made awesomely accurate hunting rifles. I sure wish I had kept one now! [/QUOTE]
