I'm adding a scope mount to my rifle (S&K in order not to damage anything) but I also didn't want to grind on my current bolt. So I bought another one and I was going to make sure it was ok. Anyways,
the replacement bolt came from Numrich aka e gunparts:
Springfield 1903 / 1903A3 Bent Bolt Assembly*|*e-GunParts.com

It's in good condition and actually looks slightly better than mine which is worn in!

At first I thought that there was something wrong with the unit when it would get stuck and I couldn't get it into the receiver. When I moved the extractor to a to face straight up the bolt would slide in with no issues but of course the extractor is now in the wrong position to allow the bolt to close.

Any way to find out why the extractor is causing an issue?

If I leave everything lined up like my other bolt then the bolt doesn't go in but my old bolt works fine. Really don't want to go with extra high rings since that isn't what I was going for.

Any help or suggestions appreciated.
