Hi!
This relates to 500 parts, so i'm posting it here.
I have a modern 590, this uses the "new" style bolt that has a firing pin spring, and the matching bolt slide which is cut for dual action bars.
Heres where the 500 parts come in: I purchased a vintage "jeweled" or engraved style bolt (and elevator) to add a little class to my 590. This bolt is the "old" style that has the "rocker" bolt lock and NO spring on the firing pin. So, its a floating firing pin and the bolt lock floats as well, and relies solely on the bolt slide to press the lock upward and into position.
I have a few questions:
1. I assume I could simply get a "old style" dual action bar bolt slide and run this setup how it was originally installed in an older shotgun. Is there any issue or negative side to the older floating firing pin and rocker style bolt lock assemblies?
2. From what I can see, though I don't have both in my hands. the actual bolt body itself appears unchanged, simply the internals. Is it possible to take the guts from my modern day bolt, and install them into the vintage bolt body?
any help here would be appreciated
