Head space checking should always be done. For Safety.
The only Carbines I remember not head spacing were (1) an early Winchester I rebarreled (2) a Winchester I bought with an odd barrel and an IP I rebarreled. None were a result of swapping bolts.
Can't remember ever having a Carbine that wouldn't head space due to bolt swap.Information
