[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1536226, member: 69192"] This is a very common sense approach to what the OP is trying to accomplish. I watched Gunbroker and Guns International patiently until I found a cheep, beater, donor rifle for $400 and went from there. I had one rifle that I simply had rebored and rechambered, only necking the caliber up from 30cal to 35 cal (.308 to .358 Winchester in a BLR) and had all kinds of feeding problems. After a whole lot of grief and aggravataion I figured out the problem. If you can find a donor rifle with the right bolt face and feeding rails in the caliber that you are trying to get to, that would be the route to take. Sometimes stuff that [U][I]"ought"[/I][/U] to be simple turns into rea[I]l expensive[/I] nightmares!! [/QUOTE]
