Chet, the extractor detent hole location would be my concern. I have taken a long action Bolthead and cut the correct amount off the end so the regular firing pin will work. That is the critical thing. Maintain that factory compressed length, Be aware of coil bind.

If you have the ability to grab small parts on your lathe it is a piece of cake for guy with machining skills. Get that nose to the short action length and you won't even need to touch the spring stop. A little here and a little there if you are willing to make things non standard.
