[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 1798703, member: 105322"] It's probably not going to happen. The bolt locks into the barrel extention. It isn't a normal receiver. It was built as a switch barrel rifle. I had one in 30-06 when Wal-Mart was blowing them out because they were discontinued. I paid $400 for mine back in 2002. They had 4 of them left, I should have bought them all. Retail on them back then was between $700-$800. One of the most accurate hunting rifles I've ever owned. CDNN had the extra barrels for a little while after that. They wanted $400 IIRC for an extra barrel, even back then. I called SIG USA once I finally got around to realizing what an awesome rifle it was. The story I got at the time was this... Apparently, someone at the factory overseas made some kind of huge pricing mistake. One big shipment of those rifles came over, and they basically sold for less than it cost to make them. SIG told the importer, SIG USA, that if more were going to come in, then SIG USA was gonna have to pay up. This meant that the second shipment was going to have to sell for almost double what the first shipment sold for. So, they stayed right where they were. I enquired about getting one on special order. I was told that they could make it happen, but it was going to cost about $1300 at the time (2004). Sorry I can't help, but I thought you might be interested in the back story. [/QUOTE]
