    Realistically the only item you need to replace is the stock.

    If converting from l/h to r/h:

    Remove barrel/bolt housing assembly, then undo the large screw at rear of striker housing to release housing from striker rod.

    Looking from above on the striker housing there is a t-shaped slot the cocking lug runs in - the left hand bar of the T has a small silver pin closing it off, remove this and put it in the corresponding hole on the right hand side.

    Reassemble rifle.

    Looking at the bolt handle, loosen the allen screw at its rear and rotate the bolt handle 180 degrees, apply a bit of loctite and tighten screw - job done. The bolt handle will curve differently but this is only a cosmetic thing and is cheaper than buying a new bolt.

    Not complicated at all should take about 10-15 minutes to do, just writing a description makes it sound worse than it really is.

    Just take your barrel assembly off via the 6 small allen screws on the bolt housing (all from the top if pre A/T variants) -watch out for your transfer port o-ring when doing this.

    Once the bolt housing and barrel is out of the way you will see the slot that the cocking lug attached to the bolt runs in.

    It is a 'T' shape with the head of the 'T' where the striker housing joins the firing valve block.

    Look for a little silver pin preventing the cocking lug from going into the l/h arm of the T slot - it is this pin that needs to be relocated to block the r/h arm of the T slot for the bolt to lock down as right handed.

    It's not a difficult or complicated job. I did mine some years ago and it has transformed how I shoot the rifle.

    Dale's instructions are spot on.
    *** Warning the Graham brothers in the Cheltenham area scamming ***
    The Graham brothers are sill actively scamming people. Do not send money or your gun to anyone in the Cheltenham area of Gloucestershire. Only deal with anyone in this area face to face.

    Never send payment via paypal to anyone living in this area. He may claim the gun must have got lost in the post and tell you to claim back from paypal.
    When paypal find out it was a gun, you won't be getting anything back.
