    Modifying CF micromag to clamping feed

    Does anybody know who can convert my micromag 2000 centerfeed body to accept a clamping feedneck? I've sent a message to Jay, but haven't heard back yet (not surprised considering the post he made about being super busy)

    It has been done.
    Have you done a search?
    You will trash the original neck getting it out.

        The only ones that I had seen were the final bodies sold by PTP and obviously that wasn't an option.

        I don't care about the old neck, I just don;t want any damage to the body...

        Thanks MANN...

          I have the last PTP micromag 2000 and it had a removable feedneck. Mine just screws off. I had a guy make me a new one.




          Drop a line to Going_home, the guy who made it can also remove your old one.

            Correction I have the last one. I just got mine in the mail from Pro Team, they were engarving it as the Last MicroMag2000.

            The only last 12 MicroMag2000 were made with threads for a feedneck. You can have your feedneck milled off and have threads cut into the body there is more than enough space.

              You could also make your current feedneck a clamping model. Make four cuts across the top of your current feedneck as if you were quartering a pie. Take a clamp from another feedneck and put it on the one atop your Micromag. If this doesn't work for you, you can still remove it and emplace your favorite aftermarket feedneck.
