Here's the picture. Sorry it took so long but the CFO said I had to take the kids shopping and hang the christmas lights before I could play with my toys.

You can just see the bolthead under the ring nut.

uhncood1,

Could you explain a little more? I'm not sure what you're getting at.

I used this action because I only planned on using it as a single shot not a repeater. I have a single shot follower, just haven't installed it yet.

If you want an easier path to a RUM repeater, I'd suggest a Centerfeed action (Stevens or Savage) in 300 or 7mm Mag. It will already have the correct bolthead. The mag opening is already opened up.

The only work that needs to be done is to modify the magazine for the longer rounds. You'd have to eliminate the L bracket and open up the ends to move the magazine back in the box and let the bullet stick out the end. Then you'd have to fix the magazine in the well somehow.

The only advantage of one of these long/short action is if you can get one cheaper than anything else.
