Now don't you all start laughing, or try to commit me to some asylum....I have a post 64, about 1978 vintage, M-70 Super Grade .458. The non CRF action.
My question, and here is where I start to duck, is, is there a way to convert this to CRF? I know it would be cheaper to just buy a CRF..but this is my all time favorite .458 and will continually cut very small cloverleaf 3 shot groups at 50 yards. I bought this new in the box in 1981 and have since, and before 1981, had and sold 12 different .458's...just couldn't bring myself to part with this one. No, I don't know why!
Anyway, I seem to remember sometime in the past there was a smith who did this..any help would be appeciated. Now that you have suffered through this post, you can all roll on the floor and laugh at the idiot!!!!

I saw a Brown Precision Rem 700 in .416 converted to CRF with a mauser extractor, so a Win is not out of the Question.
Like you, I would be curious if anyone specializes in this.

i currently have a push feed Model 70 at Dennis Olsen's being converted to CRF, I think. He qouted me a price and a 4-6 week turn-a-round time in September of 2005. I ain't seen it or heard from him since. I'm thinking that I have had sufficient patience and am going to demand he send my rifle back. I assume that he has done this before but, I sure couldn't swear to it.

Masterifleman...thanks for the reply...I should have clarified that I would like to have it finished while I am still alive
