Default Weatherby floor plate/magazine conversion?

Does anyone know if there is a conversion kit to convert a Weatherby (340WbyMag) rifle from a floor plate to a detachable magazine.

I tried Brownells but my search turned up nothing.

Your help would be greatly appreciated?

I did check H S Precision's site, they only manufacture it for Remington. Thanks anyway.

UPDATE:

After spending some time on the net and consulting emailing some gunsmiths with no results. I called Weatherby in California yesterday, spoke with a product consultant in the proshop, Weatherby has no such kit and to his knowledge there is no one in the industry that has this.

Guess I'm S.O.L.
