Tried that, they told me those parts weren't available as 'spares', only listed as 'restricted'.
Funny thing, I own a Model 70 Classic Stainless and the parts from that just quite don't fit the EW…

Cheers.

Mine are all Classic Stainless. I did not realize that the EW was different. One other thing that might be easy to modify is a follower from a Weatherby MKV. I bought one to modify for my M70 Classic so I can load 300WM longer. Never got around to it with scarcity of supplies

You might want to try MDT or Accurate-Mag magazines without the front binder plate. That will give you another 0.07" or so of COAL.

Ditto magazines from Knight's Armament. Their magazines are really nicely constructed, TIG welded, but are set up only for .308 case size though.
