[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 1161554, member: 6705"] I've fed short action rounds from the long action magazines with very little fuss. At worst, they needed some tweaking of the magazine lips. All long actions are the same as far as bolt spacing is concerned. The centerfeed models have a small slot milled at the rear action screw for the magazine "L" clip to rest. The slot can be ignored or filled with bedding material for use on a stagger feed action. That's the rub with short actions. A lot of things have changed with them over the different models and generations. The bolt spacing has changed. The firing pin assembly and bolt heads are different depending on if they are magnum or not. Pay attention when you are swapping parts on a short action. [/QUOTE]
