Hello,I very new to cenrefire rifles and my questions are aimed at the gunsmiths/armourers amongst you , and is how easy would it be to repair or replace the magazine housing on a modern sporting rifle ?
The rifle in question is a steyr III professional and it has a damaged magazine housing (to what extent i dont know ),would damage such as this make the rifle beyond economical repair i.e a " write off ",this is assuming the rest of the rifle is in sound condition ,and could such a repair be undertaken by someone with reasonable mechanical skills providing the part is still avaliable from steyr, and also what would the cost of the part be ( approx ),
OR would it be purely a job for a gunsmith and would the cost be ( ball park ),cheers Lee
