Has anyone on here built a .375 Ruger on a Mausingfield action? I imagine it is too short for a 375 H & H. If so, which magazine did you use? I would ideally like a switch barrel .222, 30-06 and 375 on the same action using a floorplate magazine but I don't know how feasible this would be? I imagine you would need different magazine boxes, rather than just swapping the follower over?

I qouted a build for a 500 Jeffery on a Mausingfield. It was capable and confirmed by ARC. So, 375 Ruger or 404 I imagine is possible. You'd just need a good big bore smith to do the work.
Look at an R8 if you want those options in a platform.
Not going to be easy, it might not physically be possible to make the Mausingfield work in the 3 listed configurations.
It will be more to it than just that, you need 3 different bolts for that magnum action. I'm not aware of them making a .378" rim diameter in that size bolt. The extractor would probably be okay on 2 of the 3? I am not sure how it would work with the 222.

I know you can get the different bolt faces, but you're right in that an R8 would be much easier.
OP, if you really want a switch barrel with the mausingfield action, you may want to choose two (or more) cartridges with the same bolt face. Pulling apart a bolt and extracter claw just sounds like a recipe to lose something if not designed to do it in the field as the R8 or others.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.
Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?
Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
