If in the end it does need its "headspace corrected" (probably not needed unless some clown simply screwed on an orphan barrel) it's a helluva task with a Savage lever gun if we're talking barrel work. But, there's a trick: mixing and matching bolts. Bolts were made in incremental lengths and fit-and-tried at final assembly in the guns at the end of the assembly line to create an acceptably headspaced product. Note that all bolts were the same regardless of caliber, within the respective models. Used/orphan bolts can be found. But it's probably not a headspace issue anyway.
What moronic source told you all the bolts are the same?
And if they were, what good would swapping out do? Kinda shooting your horse there bud.
And that HS is a hell of a task on a 99? No more so than most and a lot easier than others.

Yeah.
Come on, Gary!
You don't know what you're talkin' about.🤣
