I did pretty much the same stuff to a client's gun a month or two ago. Along with that I added a new straight bolt handle as requested. The safety made by Ed Lapour is a good piece of work. It takes a bit of fitting; not for the home handyman however. It is a new piece along with the cocking piece and firing pin, i think

So Far;
1) reaming to 458 Lott
2) Cutting Barrel to 23"
3) Adding NECG fiberoptic masterpiece front sight
4) Glassing entire bedding area and barrel channel
5) Considering magnaporting
6) Adding stiffer magazine spring
7) Removing front sling stud and adding barrel band sling attachment

While the gunsmith has the firearm might as well consider the 3 position safety option.
