I’ve got a 99 takedown receiver that was originally chambered in 250/3000 and I have a .300 Savage barrel from a solid frame 99 receiver.
Neither are rimmed cartridges. Can the .300 Savage barrel be adapted by a specialist gunsmith?
Does the rotary magazine need to be swapped? Is a 250/3000 magazine incompatible with a .300 Savage cartridge?
Sure, and it doesn't take a specialist gunsmith, just someone who knows their way around a lathe and understands the dynamics involved. One way to find out if the rotor will feed - stick a handful in and work the lever. May well have to open the neck cradles on the rotor with a rat tail file or if you're daring, a Dremel. The cartridge guide may well prove a stumbling bolck too. Again, one way to find out...
