44 Mag Steyr straight pull conversion?

Apparently it can be done...

Good use of an otherwise unsalvageable piece.

Brings to mind the M95 Steyr rifles with the holes or slots cut in the barrel breeches. Use the barrel stump as a bushing, a la Cooey Carcano.

Like all the blown primers in the photo.

One of these days I am going to convert a drill rifle into a 7.62x54r rifle. Only change needed is the barrel, the mannlicher clips accept and feed 7.62x54r already and the bolt will extract, chamber, and fire them without modification.
