[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 1932004, member: 85874"] It is a common practice to "open" the bolt face. That is to enlarge the bolt face to accommodate the larger diameter of the Mag cartridge. That is really all the factory does when you get a rifle for a standard .473 case head or a .534 case head. It does no harm. Sometimes there may be factors that make it more or less difficult. Such as where the extractor is located and what type it is. [/QUOTE]
