Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I wonder how hard it would be to convert one?

The biggest problem would be the magazine conversion. You would have to hulk out the insides to fit. Not sure if you would have to modify the interuptor.

Even the .30/06 conversions required straightening the side plates of the magazine. This leaves a visible gap between the floorplate and sides but thats not a big problem.

The magazine interuptor allows use of many cartridges other than the original chambering, no grinding of the receiver should be necessary.
