Heck, though I haven't spoken to them about it, even to AHR .. I am abolutely certain jim kobe could do the job for you, and john farmer, and a number of other smiths on the forum.
Its inherently uncomplex to take a mag boltfaced ruger to a 416, 458, or 470 AR .. Having a recoil lug on the barrel is a great, in my opinion required, thing to do. A good bedding, crossbolting, and a wrist pin are key to the longivity of the stock.

Could the smiths on the forum who can turn around a Ruger M2 Magnum in any of the AR calibers within the next 3-6 months (
per Jeffe's specs above ) please post contact info. My smith is at least a year out.
Thanks

Might also post in gunsmithing .. I can supply the reamer, gages, and dummies.. the 416, 458, and 470 are easy to do with a ruger.. the 500 requires more feeding!

Why not just hire Jeffe???

jeffeossonot for hire, Jeffe quit. I only do any work for me, and I stay frustrated that I can't make my own time lines ..
Kobe is your man, and I'll send him the reamers and gages.

Mike, that's EXACTLY it!
You two should explain this inside joke before the rest of the people in here think you're crazier than you are......if that's possible.
