Homestead Parts sells locking bolts in increments of .005", .010", and .015" oversized for pre-1964 Winchester 94s.
Which one would depend upon the amount of excess head space that exists.
Whether it would fit into the locking bolt mortises and slide freely, who knows?
If not then fitting might be required on the sides of the portions that actually fit into the mortises.
The front face of these portions might need to be fitted to the mortise, but no metal should be removed from the rear faces.
Hopefully though it would drop in okay.
In order to figure out which locking bolt to order you would have to measure the amount of excess head space before ordering.
According to what I read you can use the primer method to measure it fairly closely.
Correct headspace should be a minimum of .063" and a a maximum of .070" SAAMI.
Since the case head spaces on the rim, and the rim is a maximum of .063" thick, that is set as the minimum headspace.
But it could be up to .010" less depending on the ammo maker. So .058" might be the average rim thickness.
Anyway, if your chamber is clean and no debris is in the rim area, then you would use a brand new unfired case and repeat your primer headspace test. It would be best if you remove the extractor.
Using accurate dial calipers, you would then measure:
1) The thickness of the rim. 2) The overall length of the case alone. and 3) The overall length of the case including the spent primer.
Subtract the rim thickness from the case alone length. Then subtract this amount from the case length including the spent primer.
This will be your actual headspace for your rifle. If it measures more than .070" then it is excessive.
So, you would then figure out which new locking bolt thickness would get you closest to .063" but not too close.
If your headspace is .075" then the .010" locking bolt would reduce it to .065" which is very good, but near minimum.
If your headspace is .081" then the .015" locking bolt would reduce it to .066" which is very good.
If your headspace is .084" then the .015" locking bolt would reduce it to .069" which is acceptable.
If your headspace is more than .085" then the .015" locking bolt won't correct your excess headspace problem.
Anyway, you get the idea.
I've never done this so I don't know how well it would work out. Your results may vary.
