I was going to do this with a pre-64 Fwt '06, but found out that there just wasn't enough diameter at the muzzle to make me feel good about doing it. I had a mint pre-64 .270 standard weight, but couldn't bring myself to use it. It would have required using a Fwt. stock and some additional inletting to accommodate the rear sight boss. It just would not have looked or felt right to me.
I then acquired a pre-64 standard weight barrel in '06, thinking that I would find a pre-64 donor action somewhere, but that hasn't happened either. If you would like a barrel to rebore, I will sell you mine cheap.
