Reg, that one story about the 'killing' you made was worth the price of admission alone! I will definitely cut and pasteAttachment 59657 that into my collection of info, thanks.
Here is a pic of the remod on the '96, making a '93 bolt fit. First you take a 100 grit flapper wheel in a 4-1/2" angle grinder and carefully remove the square from under the bolt face. The flapper is perfect because it never runs hot like a stone. The '96 bolt is .075" longer than the '93 and with the exception to the guide rib and internals, is identical in other measurements. That amount I removed from the rear of the bridge so the the lug recesses could be engaged. I did it with a cut-off disc in a die grinder, then dressed with a stone. It only took about 15 mins. to do. Then the bolt shroud channel had to be opened up forward by the same amount. Fortunately, I had a small stone that was the exact size needed. the cocking and firing work like it was designed to do. Interestingly, the bolt does not bind as I thought it would as there is no guide other than the lugs and bolt body.
