    Personally, and maybe it's just me, but why not just fit the bolt head into the bolt body as per the instructions passed down from my old and wise apprentice masters to me in the 60's and passed on to the flock so that the correct way isn't lost in the future

    I was curious to see if this was something you had encountered or ever tried?

    I just have a tight bolt head and was wondering what the general consensus is on the matter.

    It's not really about a consensus...
