Simple re barrelling job. Usually no mag alterations required on the sakos. I'm doing one at the moment for a customer, as old 222 barrel was shot out.

And it's an opportunity to go for a faster twist than the 1:14, if you want to use heavier projectiles.

Just be aware if you went with a faster twist to use the heavier pills that you will be limited by the mag length, theres not an overly great deal of room in them.
