Another question for you if you don’t mind. I know with the bolt stop, box mag, and ejector mods you can fit a 3.6 oal, but do you happen to know if the model 70 will eject a 3.8 oal without modification to the rear reciever ring? The Wyatt’s magazine looks pretty easy to get done but I’d want to use the whole thing. I like the idea of a 3.8” wm or lott with a wm throat, but want to see if a model 70 is a reasonable way to go.
