    Not a wise move there Howard. You can be rest assured that while your bolt might lift when you're sat there dry fiting it, it won't (?) life when you fire a full house round through it. And even if it DID lift and fully open, the mechanical safety built into the mechanism of the action has been carefully thought out so that it could NEVER lift while dangerous pressures remained in the barrel.

    Put the original bolt back...............
