How hard is it...

How hard is it to track down a push feed M70 magnum bolt (.532)
I've been on the look out for a while. Used guns, barreled actions and such are around, but I would rather keep the action as it was my first gun...just looking to step up to the magnum bolt face.

Thoughts?

Easier, cheaper to just open it to .532?

Yep, should be easy to open up. I don't believe there is any other work necc. other than maybe feed rails depending on the cartridge. Heck, just buy one of the used ones and have two rifles.

I have two. A .532 CRPF action/ bolt, and a .473 Push feed action/bolt. Both in long action.

I'd like to find another bolt for the push feed in .532, in case I look to re-barrel in a different cal down the line.

I'd like to have a .532 push feed now, and keep the .473 on hand for future use.

Make any sense?
