OK, give me the rundown on changing a bolt face fron magnum dimensions to standard dimensions. What are the pro's and con's? What potential problems? Does the bolt need to be heat treated after welding and machineing?

Weld,Turn,re-fit extractor slot(gets complicated sometimes). Not worth it! Find a new non-magnum bolt at a gun show and lap it to the action.You may have problems with the feed rails, magazine lips.etc.Good practice for the fun of it.-Rob

I second Robs idea...unless you like projects that have no merit...
