Thick enough but not foolish. If cheaper to buy a new action. I would think it might be cheaper to machine it than buy new.

Re: Bolt action single to repeater
Id sell the single shot and buy the repeater. You will spend a lot of money machining it and making it work.

Shipped to my Gunsmith and the wait begins. I like the actions if they cost cheaper than a new. Then that is better than buying a new action.
I thought the same thing about buying a new action but then what to do with these. Sell them at a discount price and lose on that or just get it done.

Re: Bolt action single to repeater
took the actions off today. One action was goulded. That is a bitch to get off. The first action came right off. The next one took a little work. Sending the actions off to get the work done.

Re: Bolt action single to repeater
Guess it's too late to impact your actions, but it seems like a no-brainer to simply sell the single-shot and buy a repeater. Why spend money turning one into the other when you can just swap out. I guarantee that will be cheaper and faster.

Re: Bolt action single to repeater
When I asked about converting a SS 40X action into a repeater by milling out the bottom several smiths here advised against it, notably William Roscoe, Jered Joplin and Randy from R&D Precision. I took the advice and left it alone and only blueprinted it and made it into a fast twisted 243.

Re: Bolt action single to repeater
The 40x action will lose its value by milling it. I dont think the Lawton 7500 action will lose much. I don't plan on selling the actions after the work is done. I will post the cost of the milling after the work is done.

Re: Bolt action single to repeater
Losing it's value wasn't a factor, something about if it's not done properly , undue stress could be induced. I heeded the advice.

Re: Bolt action single to repeater
My gunsmith didn't really seam to think it would be a problem. He has built about 15 customs for me. He has been a machinist for 40 years. I would think he would have said something.

Re: Bolt action single to repeater
I would have one of the action makers like Defiance do it.
They already have all the tooling and programs worked out.
