Feeding
When I went to gunsmithing school my fellow student built a 45-70 on a Siamese Mauser. I cannot remember if he had to open the bolt face but there was no magazine work required IIRC. Not sure either 7.62 NATO or 7.62X54R would work out of the Siamese magazine IF I could find one. Regardless, both feed from a standard length Mauser magazine.
Two barrels works for me. Hoping for a 1.25-1.5 MOA gun in a solidly bedded wood stock. When I say solidly bedded I mean the entire action area will be bedding material (and a pillar in the rear) when completed, all wood removed. Two step process; deeply remove wood and bed action/barrel using inletting screws to align the action with the guard. Once done, do the reverse for the TG/floorplate.
I am not building a sniper gun, just an almost weather-proof knock around.
