Yes, I believe so. The bolt face will have to be opened, and the extractor, ejector, magazine, follower, and feed lips will have to be modified. Also to make this really work, you should have at least a 26" barrel and 28-30" would be better. That's a lot of case capacity. They make a humdinger of a long range cartridge/rifle combo though. - Dan
