Yes it's possible but you will need two reamers and a sleeve soldered into the chamber.
These rifles are commonly found for $75-$100, ready to shoot.
Why on earth would you want to spend $400+ to convert one?
They're good rifles and shoot well.
Put a WTB ad in the EE and I'm willing to bet you will get several offered to you.
i was just interested as to cost the rifle i something that i have no ammo for and will never shoot because of this .was thinking if it was a simple convarsion then the rifle could be put to use.Think ill take your advise and post it in the EE
