I just got invited to hunt Black Bear in Ontario.
Can I put my 458 Socom (16" barrel) or 6.5 Grendel (20" barrel) upper on a single shot lower and bring it in? Alternatively... What about converting an upper to no gas straight pull and leaving it on a lower that can still accept a magazine? |

Not sure about your second one but considering it's still an ar upper I wouldn't risk it. Your best bet is a good old fashion bolt gun with a 5 round mag. |

I was thinking about putting my 458 barrel and bolt into one of these Solo 300 bolt gun but I guess I will revive an old project to bend and weld the bolt handle on my Mauser 98 so I can put a scope on it,. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Striker: even if it sort of resembled an ar..no CBSA officer is going to risk letting you bringing it in..great way to grenade their career. does whoever you are hunting with have a rifle you can borrow? I'm looking into the details like: Is the bear 20 yards away over bait or is he on the other side of the field... A red dot and a 3X magnifier may clear the bolt handle on the Mauser which is a "wide arc bend" in which case it's just mounting the picatinny rail I own and transplanting a sight temporarily. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Striker: can you get a second bolt so you can keep the original one intact? It's not a collector's Mauser. It's a new reproduction M48 from the Zastava plant imported by Mitchell's. |
