Rem 700 Bolt face

[Fiddlemeister]

Hello

I have a Rem 700 in 17 rem that I would like to rebarrel to 6mm.

The " best " that I can see is the 6 x 47AI in the .378 dia bolt face.

??
Can a .378 be " opened up " to a .473 dia to rebarrel to a 6 BR of some sort.

Can it still use the Rem ejector or do I have to go with a Sako type extractor.

Can this be done safely, is it a " common " job ?
What should this cost me ?
Would I be better off buying a .473 bolt ?

Thanks



.378 to.473

Purchase a bolt from PT&G with a .473" bolt face with or without the ejector & the extractor of choice.
Switch barrel,switch bolt with some machining required.
