For those of us who dont have, or want to buy 2nd ed bolters, I created this little tutorial (sry if it sucks :( )

Step 1
Cut the aquilla/winged skull of the bolter casing...

Step 2
Cut the grip off where the ridges end...(may take 2-3 cuts)

Step 3
Sand down the new grip until its at a 90 degree angle with the ammo and put a strip of plasticard on the new grip.

Its not perfect but it works :D

I might try that, little GS to smooth it out and that would look pretty good.

That is a nice conversion. I will give that a try with my wolfies that I'm working on!
