I'm considering re-purposing a Hall Std LV (group) rifle to a score gun. It has a 6ppc bolt face, a standard Hall extractor (I think it is a Sako type) and no ejector. I will probably re-barrel to 30 BR. What must be done? The bolt face must be opened, for sure, but does the extractor need to be altered as well? Once I do this, is the original PPC chambered barrel now useless? Or will the 6PPC cases still function with the altered bolt? If so, does the extra "slop" from the larger bolt face opening affect anything, or not?
I haven't decided whether to add an ejector or not...might not be that useful on a VFS gun, but if I did, is that practical?
