Torchrider, I did that with a long action. The little lip broke off of the mag box when I took it out. I really wanted a single shot any way so I epoxy a single shot adapter in. I used 2 little dots of rubber cement, 1 in the front and 1 in the back to hold it until I got the epoxy in place. I then took the rubber cement out and replaced it with epoxy. It works great so far.
