I need a Solidworks file .sldprt converted to a Fusion 360 file. Can anybody plz help me?

I am only a casual user of Fusion 360 with a free version on Fusion 360.
I have a Solidworks file .sldprt that I want to tweak the design in Fusion 360.

Any computer gurus in AGN land that can help me? I can do the design tweaking. Just need to be able to create a Fusion 360 file.

Thanks in advance

I spent most of my life in High end CAD ecosystems, OEM level products design.
There are several conversion file systems that recalculates (some of) the mathematics to other platforms, but no one is automatic enough to transfer 100 % data. Talking now Siemens - Dassault Systems - PTC. These are the CAD in highest end of the spectrum.
The most used conversion formats are: stp, step, iges, parasolid, and for flat files CGM and DWG. These are heavy licensed protocol based conversions.
I don't think that any FREE based basic CAD is willing to pay royalties to those protocols, this is why you will not see a direct conversion.
I tried in the past several these FREE CAD stuff but naaah ... you may feel it fun today but no room to learn down the road.
You better find some way to SolidWorks - "Student Edition" (or similar worded concept), sign an agreement that you will use for self education only, and don't try to make money selling files ... if proven the fines could be brutal.

bighun. thanks for chiming in. I guess, I'm looking for someone who has Solidworks and can export to a file I can use with Fusion 360?

The part is a Remington 700 rifle chassis that I want to 3d print for my Altaros M24. I was looking for something that would justify upgrading my 3d printer to one that is capable to print structural/mechanical filaments. Nylon carbon or similar filaments.

I would still have to learn how to break the cad file into pieces that would fit my 3d printer.

Here is the GrabCad link to the SW file: https://grabcad.com/library/rifle-chassis-2
I also attached a zip file.
