Dumb question, can I rebuild a M70 Push Feed with a M70 CRF bolt?

[Muskox]

I happen to have a Push Feed Stainless m70 and a spare m70 Stainless bolt.

Was going to rebarrel to 375, currently is a 300 Win. Safety has issues, it's been torn apart and fixed by quite a few gunsmiths.

I am more of a M700 armorer and this is outside of my wheel house.

My thoughts are that if it fits, feeds and works and I can headspace a new barrel with an extractor cut it should be awesome.

What do you think?

I am not a Win 70 expert, nor do I have any lying around to compare. The first thought that I have is the ejector would also have to be addressed if this conversion was possible. Plunger vs standing ejectors.

The spare stainless bolt is a CRF bolt.

I thought about putting it into the rifle and checking it, but I don't am afraid I don't have a way to get it apart if it gets stuck in there.

Short answer is no.
-You would need to rebarrel
-Ejector designs are completely different
-Bolt raceway is most likely a different size.

Had not thought about the raceway.
