@nd Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Hi all. I have a question for the gunsmiths on this forum. I have a British made left handed multi calibre rifle with a magnum bolt face. At present they do not make a left handed .308 bolt for this rifle. A right handed .308 bolt was available from the start. I know that it is possible to open a bolt face up to change calibre from .308 to a magnum, but is it possible to go the other way and reduce the bolt face from a magnum to a .308 and what would be a ball park cost . Thanks Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Yes it is possible, but getting someone to do it for you may be a bit more of a challenge, I currently don't know of anyone with the facilities to affix a ring, either by silver soldering or similar, you may also be required to have the extractor reset....and I haven't even mentioned the "P" word yet 🤔 It may not be cost effective, but it is most certainly doable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeld Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Try Les Bacon, I understand he's now working through Gardeners guns. I know he can and has done it, but not sure if he would take it on now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
