I found an Ishapore 2a1 barreled action that has been sporterized and I would like to use it for the starting point of a blasphemous project. Provided I can find a machinist to make the cuts, is this action still reasonably safe, with 308, if someone made a magazine cut off cut. It likely has not been attempted by someone after the arsenal, but it seems like a fairly simple cut for someone who knows what they are doing. To my untrained knowledge, the original cut off actions are the same as the ones without the cut. They are the same strength, within the parameters of 303.
Is it plausible that a 308 action with a cut off is still safe?
Now on the subject of woodwork, if I restock with walnut, do I need to cut my own Ishapore screw so my stock doesn't split, or can this be omitted?
