I bought a CDI DBM unit for my old push-feed M70. Installation of the CDI unit requires a bit of milling on the bottom of the action - wasn't difficult to do, but you really need access to a mill to get it done.

For that caliber, feeding issues aren't the concern really. As flatlander said, the action needs to be milled. Sounds like an easy swap if you have the equipment.

Cdi always did the inletting and action mods for you if you bought the bottom metal from them. I'm going to assume long action. That reamer might put the bullet out far enough to not fit in the mag.
