BAT M bolt face .308 to Mag

Can a BAT M .308 bolt face be opened up?

Called BAT and left a VM. I've heard they're not the most responsive, so I thought I'd ask here.

Thanks.
 
Bruce Thom is literally standing 3 feet in front of me right now. He says do not open up a .308 bolt face to magnum as the extractor isn't in the correct location. Neither the M-16 style or the sliding plate is compatible.

He says they try to have bolts in stock, but he said they do sell fast. Steve, the customer service and shipping guy has stage 4 cancer and is returning phone calls, so leave a message.

E-mail is faster than a phone call. You will get Bruce or Daryle if you e-mail.

No, theres a few reasons. The bolt face depth will be too shallow for an extractor. Not to mention the depth of the sako would be too deep and the plunger of a sliding plate to far inward.
