No.

Really?

The BLR has a unique barrel extension the bolt rotates into and mates with. It is very different than the system used on an A-Bolt.

It may be possible to use it if your throw enough money at a machinist/gunsmith but as in all things in life it generally is cheaper to just buy the proper parts to begin with.

Also, why build a 7-300 wsm? You should be able to find an A-Bolt in 7mm wsm easy enough.

Not in Aus, hence the build.
looks like i wont buy the blr tube!
