    You know, I think I'm gonna just get a complete bolt from Numrich for $44.95. That's less expensive than just getting the parts I need, as well as another special striker remover tool. When they say "complete" do they really mean it....head, striker (firing) pin, everything?
    Wait! You have a new firing pin right? Read the last post in this thread.

    Was the old bolt serial number matched to the receiver? What number was on the bolt head? Does the firing pin protrude more on the new bolt than on the old?
