A short action magnum bolt face from any of the WSM's can be used to turn a small-shank action into a Magnum. I have 2 small shank WSM rifles, and am contemplating a third. The part numbers for the bolt heads are in the FAQ's, last page. The problem with the stagger feeds is that you will need to use a controlled feed bolt head in order to get it to feed, and you'll have to machine the recess for the standing ejector, which is mounted to the receiver instead of the bolt head. You'd be better off selling that action and using a centerfeed action.
