Can anyone direct me to a gunsmith who would bush a bolt and turn down the firing pin to allow use of small primers.
Thanks
Dave

Hey mate, that’s something every gunsmith will be able to do. Just chat to your local smith.

Thanks for the replies. No local gunsmith in our area regretfully.
Did you have to send the whole rifle or just the bolt?
Will see if Keith would do the job for me.

Try Swan barrels also.
