Stiller action bolt face size change

[Borisserge]

I was wondering if the Stiller predator bolt face is easy enough to open up and change.

I currently own a long action running the usual bolt face for 284w etc but I was thinking of opening it up to run a magnum.
I've tried contacting Stiller via emails and other platforms and so far no response.

I was wondering if it is opened up in dimensions, that the ejected claw will still function 100%, or am I looking at a hole I shouldn't go down?
Any insight or experience of this would be great to hear.

I recall reading in another thread that Stiller is moving their business location…

Depends on the type of extractor you are running. When I install Mini M16 extractors, the pin location is different for a .308 vs a. Magnum bolt face. Just my personal experience.

While not ideal I have installed a roll pin perpendicular to the bolt body under the extractor, close to the bolt face to hold it open.

Stiller sold the CF portion of his business and it moved from Wylie,Tx to Garland, Tx. It appears it sold again, but I believe it was sold again recently. I doubt that it has moved again.
