You can check the headspace yourself with the new bolt. Reamer rental places rent headspace gauges too.
what to do with Model 70 with no bolt

I sure hope you don't part it out.
Anyone who grew up reading Jack O'Connor would love to have the epitome of his idea of the ideal rifle.
There's a bolt or three out there. Rust? No problem. Pitting....well, that would change things.
It might cost a bit more to have fixed than a new plastic Walmart rifle, but so what?
When it comes to classics, it gets to a point where we have to think of our roles as good stewards.
How about offering it for sale "as is" on the forum?
Lots of folks here love walnut and steel.
Best Regards,
