I have a large shank wsm action with the wsm bolthead and would like to buy a .473 bolthead. The one I have has the ejector spring attached to the trigger assembly not in the bolthead itself. Where can I find one of these with a 473 boltface or can I just buy a regular large shank 473 bolthead, ejector, spring and keeper and make it work in that bolt body
Use a standard short action .473 bolt head.
I guess I'd have to take out the original ejector, it would be In the way
Yes, You will never miss it. I like the old WSM ejector. It throws the case when it is supposed too not when the case clears the edge of the port.
You are correct. Remove the spring. You may also need a shorter firing pin if you can't adjust yours down properly since the lugs are thicker on the WSM head.
I realized that last night when i put the 2 beside each other
That firing pin should work; I adjusted mine down to .31-.33 protrusion.
