Thank You for You information, First one that I have tackled so any and all information is wecome, so far I've removed the stock and sprayed penetrating oil, waiting on the action wrench to come in, then proceed, I put a bullet in the barrel that I want to use and then removed the bolt from the 1893 action and in doing so I didn't see the bullet move in or out of the barrel chamber, no slack that iI could tell both lugs were tight to the barrel and no slack at the bullet and bold end, this is the flat bottom bolt. not sure if any of thsat mean anything or not, as the barrel isn't installed yet. at which time I have it headspaced. I'll see what happens, Thank you so much again sorry it took so long to respond John
