[QUOTE="Rhett Crider, post: 2765926, member: 105034"] Kinda funny. I've got this exact same conversion going on. Got a SS Classic in 300WSM re-barreling to 6.5 PRC. It's at my smiths right now and I too thought the WSM mag box and follower would be close enough to work. After this post, I called Winchester Arms (800.322.4626) parts Monday morning and ordered a PRC mag box, follower, and spring. $71.00 plus the ride. Ordered for the M-70 EW in 6.5PRC so it would be SS. I've got the 1340 mag box, follower, and bolt for WSM from my 6mmCM build left over here at the house to compare it once it arrives. Extractor claw should be good. PRC rim 0.532 vs WSM 0.535. As mentioned on my previous post, FN mag box dropped right in on my 6CM build. Bolts are different due to thread pitch at safety mechanism. Classics have square cut thread pitch. I'll post again once I receive. [/QUOTE]
