Great idea. I have thought about doing the same to a plain jane 91/30 or find a M38. The LER mount is ideal for a shorter rifle/carbine and I would leave the bolt handle the way it is for two reasons: 1) faster to manipulate and 2) more force on the opening of the bolt when the palm of the hand is used.
Thanks for sharing your project.
