[QUOTE="winmagman, post: 279319, member: 1193"] You can build a WSM on a short action, but there are some compromises to be made. The WSM uses a control feed bolt head, this ensures reliable feeding from the magazine. The actions used for this round have a mechanical type ejector, not the plunger style used in the bolt head of the push feed actions. So if you use a push feed action you will need to switch over to a push feed mag bolt head, works great for a single shot, not so reliable trying to feed from a magazine. Other option is to have a slot milled in the push feed action so you can install the mechanical type ejector. I haven't priced that option but I'd guess its pricey. Geargrinder, Did you start with WSM actions? If not are yours single shot or repeaters and how did you work around the feeding/ejection issues? Might help me out on fiture projects. Chris [/QUOTE]
