bolt/bolt carrier interchange headspace question

I checked through the archives and I can't seem to find anything that answers my question.

I just bought a new DSA SA58. Say I wanted to swap the bolt and bolt carrier out for a different one, which is also new. Would the rifle have to be re-headspaced? Can you interchange the bolts and bolt carriers between rifles considering the fact that they are all new? How about switching used components?

I want to have some bolt and carrier combos as spares, so can I just replace them whenever I wish, or does that constitute having the rifle re-headspaced again too?
