    I picked a defiance deviant SA action and bolt. I run switch barrels and didn’t realize the bolt is a flat face and all my barrels are for recessed bolts. Can I get the flat face bolt machined to recess or order new bolt? What are your thoughts
     
    You can get a new bolt. Defiance can build you another bolt but they will ask you to send the action back so they can test the new bolt in the action. I can’t remember how much I paid for my bolt.
     
    Shotdown,
    Not to worried about the $$$ but biggest question would be lead time. I have had nightmare of lead times
     
    I give them a call today. Thank you for the info
     
    I talked to defiance today - when I placed my order. They do want the action back if you order a new bolt. Cost $350 (unless you do a 3 position safety like mine). Said that turn around time is about 2 weeks.
