[QUOTE="Knife, post: 901926, member: 74323"] Last summer I had a similar project in mind, converting a Savage 10FP (standard 1.05" action, non accutrigger) .308 to a .300 WSM. So I rebuilt the bolt, milled down a long action bolt face as described above and replaced the firing pin (magnums are smaller). Then when I was looking for a barrel, I contacted Sharpshooter and was told that they did not recommend putting a WSM barrel on the standard action due to extraction problems. He stated that it was not a safety issue. I have not been able to find any examples of this problem or fix/work around for it. Has anyone experienced this or have any more details about it? I'm still considering building the gun, but I don't disregard an expert's advice lightly. And I could still build a non-magnum. [/QUOTE]
