CPC,
Thanks for stopping by!
That explains everything. I was a little surprised when GG said that you wouldn't do a magnum bolt. You always did, before.
Macc's right....It's all your fault, you're so busy.
GG, Macc,
A good, reliable "machinist" can check that bolt face for "squareness" and rim recess depth and make any necessary adjustments.
Chamfering the lower back can be done with a decent metal file.
A buffing wheel and some "Jeweller's rouge" will polish it up, nicely.

My bolt had a "rim recess" depth of .053 and the face was not exactly square. Someone else had one with a .058 depth.
CPC,
Ya don't think that "wimpy" firing pin could use all the help it can get by, at least, having the rim "sandwiched" between the bolt and breach face half-way decently?
Other than that. I agree that there's not much else that "needs" to be done to the bolt. except a good "polishing".
Sav99age,
Too cold to do anything outside, so, I tore down some rifles and charged the camera's battery, just for you.
This is a pic, comparing the Ruger LR & WMR firing pin's tips, alongside a spent case showing the "hits" it makes.
The LR is on the left.
"Why" Ruger made that Magnum pin's tip like that, I don't know. You can see the "hit" is actually off the rim.
(I sure hope Chief wasn't doing the same thing, today. He's even colder up north MO.)

GG,
o.k. bwana!
That "hit" on the Magnum case is actually a good one. Good solid "hit".
See the "slots" in the firing pins in pic #2?
I elongated the Magnum's by taking a "hair" out of the back-end.
That allows the pin to be driven a little farther forward and giving that rim a good solid "smack" in the butt to get that bullet moving.
Ya gotta be carefull when "dry-firing", the pin could hit the breach-face.
We tried to talk Scott V. into making a decent aftermarket pin, like his "Exact Edge" Extractor, but.......No joy.
LM10/22,
Who knows??

WOW!
$250.00!
That's a great price even if it was all original!
Ya done good!
:t :t
My "intro" to 10/22s was just the opposite.....
I had no idea what a 10/22 even was until I sent for a Ruger catalog in 1999. hmmmmm... what's this?.......10/22? .22 Magnum?.......I like the sound of that! MAAGGNNUUMMM......
Than one day, I just happened to be at a gun show and there it was! I was familiar with .22 shorts, from about 40 yrs ago, but when the guy showed me what a .22WMR looked like....I was in love! And those were just the Winchester FMJ's
Being an "old Industrial Maint. Mechanic" I could see where some "improvements" were needed and started to "fiddle around" with the rifle.
Than I got a 'puter, found Giz's 10/22 Forum, heard about Volquartsen and got "sucked into" the world of 10/22s.
