[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 640495, member: 6705"] Go nuts with a dremel. Take the back end of the mag opening flush to the lip of the lip of the bolt head. Take the front of the mag opening so that it is flush with the mag box. Go easy here, your removing material right behind the lower abutment. Take a mag box and slot the front end so the bullets can stick out. Make a floor for it to hold in the follower and spring. Then epoxy the mag box assembly into the stock. You should be able to run about a 3.9" or so COAL. I've done it, but I don't think it's worth it. Single shot is so much easier, and no permanent mods to the action. [/QUOTE]
