This would make it like the M2Rs that you see sometimes. I'm not sure all that is involved but probably more than you'd want to get into yourself. Parts to do this are scarce I think so you'll probably have to check around to see who has the parts. For myself, I don't mind the more positive loading of the M2s and M3s. I've never misloaded one but I have misloaded M4s and M6s. I wonder if anyone has ever coverted an M6 to M2 loading? ; ) Have fun, Colin Miller
