Converting a LH Savage to RH/LH eject?

[prosper]

OK, I just had a crazy thought. Would it be possible to convert a LH savage action to one of those new RH actions with a LH eject? Would it be just as simple as disassembling the bolt, flipping the handle over?

I don't know but if you look at the action of the bolt, LH bolt rotates clock wise so the locking lugs would have to be set up for a clockwise rotation, RH rotates counter-clockwise. In my opinion the lugs on the bolt may be similar but the locking recesses would be set up differently.

The actions are mirror images of each other so conversion is not easy.

Best to just buy the action with the offside ejection port. LH actions are certainly no easy to find.
