    Hello Remember that even thou all model 43's are centerfire and the fireing pin does come out of the bolt face at the same spot[:)] The head of each case may or may not be the same[xx(]the 25-20 and 32-20 are the same But the 22hornet is different from either of these and the 218Bee shows it is within .002 of both the 32-20 and 25-20 so if you have a 218 bee you could use a 32-20 or 25-20 bolt [:p][:p] but not a 22 HORNET bolt[:(] unless you did a lot of machine work on the bolt. Remember that even if the bolt will work you may have a slight head space problem This whould not bother me as much on a model 43 as they are fairly low pressure cartridges and head space off of the rim.
