Yes and no.
If you accommodate the need for headspace verification and the straighter bolt handle a Seven/XP bolt will work but won’t be a drop in. You could always just purchase a bolt body and have the dogleg handle applied.

Here is a XP with a PTG replacement bolt with a standard Rem extractor. It’s now a 243AI......

This was originally a 221 fireball that some hack converted to a 300wsm by changing the barrel and opening up the bolt face using a Sako extractor. My smith refused to use the bolt when I went to re barrel, he didn’t like the quality or lack there of of the modified bolt so I went the PTG route for replacement. Was originally going to build a 243WSSM using the bigger bolt face but as long as the bolt was going to be changed I went with a standard 473 bolt instead.

Done
No Rocket Science involved!


Pay attention to what this guy says, he may not be a rocket scientist but he definitely is the Martha Stewart of the gun industry

Yah, right, helluva welder though, surprised he didn't try to weld it

Yes this is true, but they dont make complete bolts with dog leg bolt handle, just another added expense for the OP, best route for him is to have a AR extractor installed. Told him I will look, I have a box of old dog leg up bolts

gemby58 has looked through his bolts/parts and the ones he has don't have extractors, he bought them from Remington as leftover extra parts and they
did not have the extractors. So I am going to try and widen the one I have a hopefully it will work and I don't break it. If that does not work I have a
smith in town that will install the AR-15 extractor for $150.00.

Thanks to gemby58 for digging through all his parts and all that replied to this post
