[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1671673, member: 27307"] In gunsmithing we rarely use the term 'bare minimum' as this implies not doing a complete and thoroughly correct job. I can think of 3 ways to go about your request: 1) Rechamber the factory rifle you suggest buying. A magnum bolt face is required for SAUM. Set the barrel back one thread, then open the rails, add a box (triangular windows) and follower and maybe adjust the feed ramp. Add pillars and bed the action with the bottom metal. 2) Buy the correct action, then add a top of the line barrel, a better stock than the factory one, proper box and follower. Chamber the barrel, bed the action and stock with the bottom metal. 3) Find a slightly used SAUM rifle and re-barrel it with a great barrel. Bed it. Bare in mind that is a simplistic view of the major details and in no way should be construed as being a definitive text for the conversion. [/QUOTE]
