Looks like the safety problem is caused by the bolt body. It is not closing fully. There is some metal removed from the receiver, where bolt handle comes into contact with receiver (second picture, green arrow), and from the handle itself (red arrow), in an apparanet attempt to persuade the bolt to close. The worst part is that the handle has a crack. Appears going through the weld. Strange I just noticed it. Do you think the bolt handle will need to be re-welded? I am thinking to remove metal from the handle until it closes.

Here are link to the images:

I'd have the bolt handle redone. Notching the receiver is not at all uncommon when bolt handles are replaced on Mausers.

BTW, the pictures of the bolt/receiver sure don't look like the bolt/receiver in you original post.

Something odd going on for sure. confused One action has a notch cut in the action for a bent bolt and no screw holes for a receiver sight and the other doesn't have the notch for the altered bolt, but does have the holes for a receiver sight. If the op is mixing up his bolts and actions as much as he's mixing up the pictures he is asking for head space trouble. The cracked bolt handle is going to cause problems if it isn't fixed too.
