Good day all!
So I am trying to get a match to my AR 458 SOCOM. I have matching bolt rifles to all my AR's and other rifles. I was looking to make a Remington 700 Remage to 458 SOCOM. After closer investigation, it appears that the Ruger American in 450 Bushmaster would make an easier conversion. The Ruger 450 BM has the same bolt face dimensions needed for the 458 SOCOM. Furthermore, the Ruger uses a castle nut to mount and head space the barrel. So far this appears the best option.
Has anyone ever done a conversion like this before?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
