    99 rebarrel to 350 legend ?

    So
    With the midwest states allowing straightwall ammo guns for deer hunting, is it possible to rebarrel a 99 to 350 legend or 450 bushmaster ?
    Now, it goes against my nature to redo, alter, change these rifles.
    But...
    I do have a pitted metal, cracked stock, non factory drilled scope mounts, sling swivels, 300 savage donor that I would have no hurt feelings if it could be done rifle available.
    Then, I would have the pleasure of using this rifle as intended, deer hunting.

    What altercations other than the obvious barrel swap with headspacing would need done.
    The 300 savage case base is larger than the 350 legend, but ,it is smaller than the 450 bushmaster.
    What issues arise here?
    The 450 bushmaster may not roll around the rotary mag, but I think the 350 would.

    Has this been done yet ?

    Then lastly,
    Cost ?

    Any help or helpful comments welcome.

    Mods, feel free to move if this is in wrong category

    Thanks

    The short answer is NO.

    I wouldn't consider this an altercation.

    My first question would be if the rotary mag would work with a straight wall case. You would certainly have to sculpt the rotor. Without a shoulder, would the cartridges in the mag behave? How do you feel about a single shot?

    A lot of the rotors were cartridge specific. I once considered a switch barrel .303 Sav./ .38-55 1899 takedown, but the .38-55s would not feed or even load into the magazine. Then consider the bolt face alteration, if possible, and an extractor.

    Sounds like you're getting a new rifle!! :)
