Detachable magazine bolt action rifles

**SSP** · 16-07-2008, 11:49

I want a bolt action rifle which uses a detactable box mag.

Robar does a Remington 700 that uses M14 magazines.

Does anyone know of a gunsmith locally who can do such a thing?

Tikka use a removable mag (single stack) and Steyr as well (a staggered type).

I think one can also get CZ's with removable mags.

Thanks. I was really looking for someone to build me a bolt action rifle that takes FN FAL mags!

I'm not a gunsmith but I'd like to know what such a project would entail, things like what action, barrel length etc...
feel free to share.

I think it is risky business to share anything with you, especially in view of your replies to lubrication......

Hi There

I know a few good gunssmiths that can do that in SA but the best person to talk to would be Jaco Van Vuuren at Truvelo Manufacturers in Midrans he is one of the best in the game

Kind regards

Regarding the guys mentioned before hand Craig and Martin the 2 gunsmiths are extremely exspensive and the quality of there work is so so the best is Jaco Van Vuuren
