I'd like to have Neil's 550 Magnum built on a stainless action. Can the bolt face on a MRC stainless long action (not the PH - I am pattiently waiting for my stainless version for my 600 OK Alaskan) safely be opened up enough to build one?

the casehead is .590 (ish) .. if the bolt is .700, just barely yes .. i talked to neal today... there's more brass on the way opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Thanks Jeffe I'll have to ask Jeff of MRC about bolt diameter - the 1999 Long action comes standard with .534 bolt face so my thoughts are adistinct "maybe". Good news on the brass!

it's a 550-460 Wbee, so work off of that notion. Rich | |||

1999's are not in production at MRC. The 1999 parts are tied up in bankruptcy. I was waiting since July for mine and was told it will be at least ten more weeks. I gave up on them, hopefully you have your own action and are not planning on ordering one. ----------------------------------------------------- Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him.

I didn't realize that the 1999 was affected by the same parts problems as the PH.  Well, there goes that idea ...  Guess I'll wait for my SS PH and build my 600 OK Alaskan (SS action, SS barrel, laminate stock) then.

call MRC, see where you action is, and if its ready, get a barrel ordered ... heck, 10 weeks is just barely overly long for ordering a barrel these days opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

10 weeks is just an answer that MRC came up with in november. I was told 90 days in July. The actual timeframe appears to be unknown. ----------------------------------------------------- Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him.

If your looking I've got one of the carbon steel 1999's right hand longaction magnum botface from when they were doing the .330 reare base spacing in .300 Win with a Lilja barrel that has never been fired. 307-322-1725 Yes it's cocked, and it has bullets too!!! | |||

Thanks for the offer. Actually I was looking for a stainless steel action that I would put a SS barrel an laminate stock on for as close to a true all-weather big bore as possible.
