Love that rifle. Been shooting it much lately?

I wish they would make one of those that fits on an AR-15 lower. "Two guns, two guns, two guns in one."

bj139- that's an awesome idea! I'll pass it along on Monday to Blade- the gunsmith- my hunt pal.
Lobb some ideas out there.

I'm not saying it couldn't be done but the FCG would be a problem

A bolt that rotates 120 degrees should provide enough camming action to extract.
A different barrel extension would probably be needed as well as a solid bolt.
A short bolt that only extends to the back of the firing pin would allow rotation to slide sideways along the hammer face.
Pulling the bolt back recocks the hammer, as usual.
I think this could be done rather easily.
A modified receiver, barrel and bolt should be all that is necessary.
An AR with gas tube removed can be used as a straight pull bolt action without the camming action to extract.

Then could also use regular mags. Things are always easier for the person NOT doing the work but it could be do-able!

Yes, John. Good point. I hadn't really thought about that.

Nice build there HG. A little different. Very cool.
