[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1952335, member: 27307"] This all depends on which action you want to convert. If you want to use the common Remington 700, then there are multiple machining steps, using the original bolt: Remove the extractor and ejector from the bolt. Open the bolt face. Machine for a Sako or M-16 extractor. Chamfer bolt nose slightly. The rails have to be machined open to allow the larger diameter case to feed from the magazine. The feed ramp needs adjusting. The magazine box and follower have to be replaced. Or Buy a new bolt to be fitted or find a Remington bolt for the .473 bolt face. Or Buy a new EVO action from Mack Bros. for $575.00 Enjoy!:) [/QUOTE]
