Okay. I will remove the bolt action from the DSR1 and remove the semiauto part from the M21. Then if they fit (which I hope they will, I will swap the bolt action for the semi auto action and instead of having a bullpup bolt-action rifle, I will have a semi-automatic bullpup sniper rifle! Sound good or not?
