I am re-barreling my model 10 in 223 to a 308 bolt face. What parts do I need to change? It is almost new, by the way. ;D

here are two different links that might come in handy
I know that often times you have to switch out the firing pin due to different sizes but im not sure if you will in this case.

IF you would like to switch back and forth buy the magazine and the whole bolt, don't forget the 3 parts needed for the ejector. If it is a one time deal buy the bolt head The ejector parts and the extractor parts.
I think your list of parts would be 7 for the 4.4" action + magaine parts :
(same firing pin)
Bolt head (243, 260, 7mm08, 308, 338, 358)
Extractor
Extractor spring
Extractor detent ball
Ejector
Ejector Spring
Ejector retaining Pin
Magazine Parts

Mail me your complete bolt and magazine box and ill mail you mine back. We can swap. Just pay shipping.
Pm me if interested
You might also need the baffle if your .223 has the leg on it.
