[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 998317, member: 711"] Is the action commercial or military? Easy way to determine is, on the side of the action opposite the bolt, there is a thumb cut in the military action to allow you to push a stripper clip all the way down from the top. It's just a rounded cut-out in the left side of the receiver. The commercial action does not have the thumb cut. I am not qualified to apraise or assess this gun, but would like to see pictures. Sounds interesting, but any conversion/mod/"improvement" is likely to reduce collector interest/value. As a modern hunting round, I doubt many will be interested. There are probably internet sources of info that will help you get a better handle on this. CB [/QUOTE]
