I got my .375 ejector and the replacement .458 magazine. Popped out the spacer and good to go with 3.6" rounds in the magazine. My question is...do I also need a shorter bolt stop like this one?
Yes, that should do the trick. I was pretty sloppy in saying ejector/boltstop needs to be shortened. That is two parts, ejctor and bolt stop. Three parts needing alteration if mag box is included.
Doggonnit, since I have caused so much aggravation here, I am going to order parts for two conversions of the FN/SC M70. I have run out of M70 Classics for conversion and am stuck with the FN/SC models.
The Super Grade .458 WinMag will be done for sure. Then, either an All Weather .338 WinMag, or a .30-06, the latter also requiring bolt face opening up.
Two will get the treatment to part switching: 1. Longer mag box, not blocked at back. 2. Shorter-length fixed ejector blade so cartridge is ejected at longer retraction backward. 3. Shorter-length breech bolt stop so bolt can be retracted farther backward to expose that fixed ejector. The .338 WinMag or .30-06 may also get re-barreled to .458 WinMag, after the M98 gets its Pac-Nor barrel. So many toys, so little time.
