Call UM tomorrow and ask them. I believe their modified port package would work for you.

That certainly makes the most sense. Despite that good advise, I have a melting brain that wants to goof around with my rifle and I'll probably do something even if its stupid.

Maybe go look at the ULUL thread and spend your time and money with one of those builds?

Yeah that. Or do something unique with a coating (we do nitride and DLC as one example), maybe combined with a unique bolt fluting if you must, and leave the main action body alone.

I get that. I answered realistically about just nitride it to save potential headaches for little gain in regards to lightening it. Along with the negatives of an action more exposed to the elements.

Frankly the action lightening with a sportsmatch hole provision did not go smoothly for me whatsoever. You stated you wanted to use sportsmatch rings, I tried to politely steered you away from a potential frustrating situation.

Of course, I appreciate the prudent advise.
