I started thinking about that shortly after I posted. Have sent an email asking if this would interfere with a LH gun.

Thanks for that good information, Dirtfarmer. I asked James about the bolt handle and he said the new ones are better and won't likely need any modification in order to clear the scope. I'll very likely pick up one of the rails like you showed. Am hoping to be able to pick up the rifle in July... Was thinking about left handed guns. You may want to inquire about a lefty rail. Or could mount this one in reverse. Wouldn’t have the extension but should work with shorter scopes. One could cut off the extension as it now would be facing rearward. DF They do make a lefty rail, no extension, but you get 25 moa: http://www.diproductsinc.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=967999DF, what was the purpose of cutting the mag spring? Does it perhaps prevent the bolt from binding on the first round? If so I'll be doing that mod, if I have 5 rounds in the magazine I have to push the rear of the bolt with my thumb on the first round.

I was having issues with the very strong mag spring. James agreed about that spring situation, said he grinds the spring like I’ve shown. Did it exactly like he instructed. Seems to work better. James is a great source for details on that action. His work is outstanding. DF

If you grind the spring, go slow, don't let it get hot.

You're killin' me Smalls. I'm just trying to learn my grandkids' language. (who don't know anything about L.O. Annie or Ovaltine except that movie, which we watch every Thanksgiving). Best wishes.
