I would like to use a Satern/Liberty barrel from MidwayUSA or Brownells, and replace the bolt that is included with a JP-Enterprises enhanced bolt, and just keep the bolt that comes with the Satern barrel as a spare. I know normally it is advised to use the bolt that comes with the barrel for proper headspace, but the JP website says "Each bolt is head-spaced to ± .0005" to ensure cross compatibility between properly chambered barrels."
So my question is, if I measure the face-depth of the bolt that comes with the barrel, then measure the face depth of the JP bolt, and both are the same, is it safe to use the JP bolt?
