Headspace with the existing bolt, or any replacement needs to be checked. Assuming it is good with the existing, I would be sorely tempted to have it modified by forging/grinding/welding.

Headspace is pretty easy with a couple of gauges but will set you back $50/60. If you have a 'smith, it'll probably cost less to have him do it.

Edited to add: The picture link did not work for me but the auction shows a nice rifle. Congrats!
