Title: Replacement of Krag bolt body.
Post by Roamin_Wade on Mar 30^th, 2019 at 4:11pm

I’ve had to replace the bolt body because a crack that almost went around the whole body back by the bolt handle. I’ve heard that firearms that use a cartridge that is rimmed, as is the Krag, headspaces from the rim or at the rim. Does that mean that I have to still get the headspace checked by a gunsmith because of the new bolt or since it is headspaced from the rim I don’t need to get it checked? Thanks!!!

It should be good but get it checked to be sure.
