I mispoke when I said the case head recess could go into the barrel breech. I can only think of
shotguns or TC Contenders set up that way.
As I said previously, the bolts would be identical, especially the cam follower pin to bolt face
dimension. The case head recess would be identical in all the bolts.
If everything is running true, when the barrel cluster assembly is adjusted rearward all the
breech faces will contact the bolt faces at the same time. The head recesses will already be
machined into the bolts to accomodate the largest headed ammo I encounter.
I\'m not worried about headspace. I have many centerfire pistols with .005\" to .010\" headspace
from the factory. I checked many of my Romanian AK parts kits and found the headspace anywhere
from .000 to .007\". I\'m confident .001\" headspace over the thickest headed .22 ammo won\'t give
any problems in the Gatling.
I hope to start on the bolts soon, relatively speaking.
If it turns out my thinking is wrong, I will immediately post a retraction to all the preceding.
