Gunsmithing Montana 1999 action question

[mciver]

Need some help...
I have a rifle built on a Montana 1999 action and here is the issue..the internal box mag is only 3.650 which limits the COAL I want to be at. Has anyone heard of anything aftermarket that I can get to extend the internal box or even find a magazine fed box for this thing? Wyatt's didn't have an answer and Montana Rifle Co hasn't called me back...go figure.
Thanks for the help...if there is any.
Malcolm

C'mon boys!!! Ok..just to add a little, Montana 1999 action is in all practicality a Model 70 action. So, I assume the Wyatt's box will work after a little work by the smith (ya the assume word, I know). Is there an aftermarket system for the Mod 70 for making it a detachable mag system? Someone has to know something about this thing.

I believe their bottom metal will work. The montana is a great action. Good luck

You can give me a call. I have insight to the whole deal that may help you. That company is not exactly run correctly. I do however have someone on the inside that can help you out. They have extended box mags there. I will be able to get you answers or parts if needed.
