changing cartridge eject

[old_dood]

On a 12 6mmbr can I change eject from right to left just by changing the bolt face?

Do you have the dual port action?

[old_dood]

yes, the 12 6mmbr comes left load, right eject (when it does eject). the openings on both sides are the same.

[bootsmcguire]

Yup just switch to a left handed bolt head and it should eject lefty. You will have to re-headspace the barrel to the new bolt head.

thanks, Boots. I didn't consider that headspace needed to be checked. nipped a big mistake in the bud.

If you have an unsized pc of fired brass from that barrel, then all you need is the nut wrench, vice and wood blocks and the new head and you're all set.

It is all easier than it sounds.

thanks, I'll opt for the gauges since I anticipate a barrel change at some point.

10-4, good luck and let us know how it goes.
