Anyone convert a CZ 527 into 6.5 Grendel bolt action rifle? - melensdad - 08-06-2012

I just ordered a CZ 527 Carbine in 7.62x39.

My goal is to pull the barrel and install a new barrel chambered for the Grendel. Anyone else do this? Looking at the CZ 527 action closely, it should be plenty strong enough for factory loads, but I doubt that I will be pushing out any "hot" handloads through this rifle. But handloads that don't push up the pressures will be used as well.

The plan for this rifle is a southern hog hunt in the spring of 2013.

Has anyone done a CZ 527 conversion yet? Which barrel maker did you use? Which chamber? I've been recommended by a gunsmith/wildcat developer to have McGowen do it in 264 LBC.

Add me to the list too. If only for my own selfish reasons since I can't seem to find information that exists about what I am trying to build . . . despite the fact that the information is here, I just can't find it!!!
