A friend rebarrelled one to 6BR but it needed the bolt face bushed for the smaller case-head diameter (0.473" v 0.550"), and it turned out a very fiddly job with a few other modifications needed before he was through. It made a very accurate 6BR though with a good match barrel on - the super short M70 action turned out to be a very good base.
