Good evening,
I am a fan of flat back receivers. There is a lot of nostalgia in hunting and I've had one for over 35 years. I am now in a position to collect / build a series. They will be right handed, blind magazine, wood stocked and blued steel. Most will be on a 06 case (25, 280, 30, 8 or 338, Whelen (35, 38, and hopefully 400) with the skinniest barrel I can convince someone to make.
I would really like one big one in 375 Ruger, but I am not certain that can be done. I know that ll of the flat receivers have small shanks, can you put a Ruger chamber reamer into a small shank barrel? As I understand it, the chosen rifle should start as a Magnum due to the unavailability of magazines, is there anything else I should consider in choosing the donor rife?
Thanks for the help!
