I believe you'll have less headaches going with a newer action for the build. You can use the old bolt head but the barrel at the breach will have to be milled for the bolt head to recess into and an extractor cut made. More cost than it's worth. I'd look for a used Stevens 200 long action in the classifieds and use it for the build. To access the classifieds, you'll have to be a paid member but, it's the best $12 you'll ever spend.
