    Swiss Veterli, converting to centerfire

    I found a really good deal on a Swiss Model 78 Vetterli, and of course it's still set up originally for the rimfire round, wondering if anyone has had one of these guns converted to centerfire or if there is someone where I can send the bolt out, if possible, since none of our local gunsmiths do that kind of work.
    Whatever cannot be remedied, must be endured.

    I did two guns with a drill press and a decapping pin for a firing pin. If you plan it all out it's not hard to do.
