The magazine well may have been opened up but then again maybe not, they were pretty long to begin with. A-Square used those actions back in the day for some of their custom magnum caliber rifles.

Also, I didn't see any pics of your floorplate; issue P14s and P17s had a drop to them. A pretty common mod when sporterizing was to cut and reweld them so they were flat.

Thirty years ago those rifles were cheap (real cheap), I had a couple I played with. I think I still have a P14 action in a drawer somewhere, I wanted to build a custom 405 chambered rifle.
