[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 640521, member: 43153"] I do have a dremel, and lots of files, also. But I thought I would have to start out by obtaining a longer mag box, and removing enough metal, from both front and rear of the action, to get it to fit in. I think slots also have to be cut, both front and rear, that lips on the box need to slide into. MY CUV stock should be able to serve as the floor, for the spring & follower, I would think. I would prefer to install a box (and follower too, I guess) that IS the proper size for the rounds, rather than slot out the front of my existing one. I would only have to modify the action to fit the box then. Any ideas on where the correctly sized mag box can be purchased? Oh, 1 more question: The "lower abutment" isn't what the right-side locking lug locks down into when the bolt is closed, is it? I would be VERY hesitant to remove ANY metal from THAT area, if that is in fact, the case. [/QUOTE]
