Howdy,
Jim Wisner has an excellent article on this... it is way early

you may not need to change the bolt stop, but might need to GRIND (keep it cool) the ejector

Try Gunmaker- The Journal of Custom Gunmaking, May/June/July 1997, Issue #79, Pages 14-17, "Altering Enfield Actions to .416 Rigby and .505 Gibbs" by James Wisner as told to Steve Nelson.

I ordered a reprint from the American Custom Gunmakers Guild website.

Sorry,
PM jim here. Discuss on how to receive a copy of this article.

remember, it's easier to remove a bit more than to grow it back
