Gunsmithing Changing R700 .308 bolt face to Mag bolt face?

[csdilligaf]

Just what all is involved and while I'm at it I might as well put in a better extractor like a SaKo or M16 right? I did not find any threads for this. Anyone recall one on doing it?

thanks

Would be better off to get a new bolt from PTG and have it fitted.

I have done a bunch of these. Charge to open the bolt face and install the Sako style extractor is $80 (at my shop). Might consider just selling the gun and buying one with the right size bolt face. Many times this is more cost effective.
