sonic1 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 ready to start a new project..rebarrelling to a .44rem mag..have already turned barrel ....ready to pull barrel....the .44 mag fits the clip but want feed because it to short, may not eject very well ...if you just drop in the round it works real good as single shot..but i"m going to do something about a clip.. these work good as 30-40 krag , .410 or .444 marlin.. any thoughts?

8uck5nort Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Wow! Can't wait to see what you come up with! It will be an interesting challenge. The stock on the Steyr looks like a good one. Ought to clean up real well. The only type of mag I am familiar with is a box style mag. So I don't have any suggestions there until I get to see one in action. This is the only thing I can think of since I don't have one in front of me. Thread a spring through the clip wall to push up on the cartridges or thread a spring from the back of the clip to push them from the back to "help" them forward? Is it possible to ditch the clip and make it a box style mag with a follower plate? Even a single shot with a bench type plate would be beyond cool. 8uck5nort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic1 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 nice light stock ..just small nicks ..will cleanup nicely..barrel looks real dark..what do you think of keeping the upper hand guard and making it look like a stock rifle or make a sporter ?

Good question... First gut reaction is to make it a sporter, but now that I think about it leaving it in the original militaryfurniture may make it an even more appealing and unique to have it "look" stock but just modified "under the hood". Can always get a sporter uninletted stock, fit it for a drop in fit and then swap 'em out to fit the mood or situation. Keep it stock for the practice range and then drop it in a aftermarket for day or two of hunting. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a quick Google search and I found an uninleted Monte Carlo style boyds stock in their pepper liminate for 50.00 bucks... not bad. they sell em normally for about 70 bucks. That might make a nice sporter stock for this rifle! Get the best of both worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 the .44 mag fits the clip but want feed because it to short, may not eject very well ...if you just drop in the round it works real good as single shot..but i"m going to do something about a clip.. Maybe you can come up with a single stack 44 magnum pistol magazine, then alter the bottom metal so the mag sits forward, closer to the breech----- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, not sure if I am looking at this correctly, but how about using another clip to act as or manufacturing some type of "bridge" to sit just in from of the cut follower Use the Trigger guard/mag to attach too. This provides a fixed follower plate to move the rounds across and into the chamber??? NOt sure how you would do that or it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8uck5nort Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 That is way cool. Single shot bolt action 44 mag! Talk about some acurate knock down power at under 200 yards. Great looking gun. Love the contrast in the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
