savage 12 .223 to .220 swift, please help me.

[409impala1]

I have a left hand hand bull barrel model 12, accutrigger, in 223. I want to convert it to 220 swift, can anybody help me with what I need to do to accomplish it?
thanks

New bolt head with ejector/extractor as they come without them usually, new bolt baffle...or a new bolt for about $100 complete,
new magazine & follower as the .223 box has a metal bracket in it to shorten it up. Barrel of course, go gauge, barrel wrench.
Everything can be found at MidwayUsa also.
Being a M12 short action it will/may be a single shot in the .220 swift.

will this allow it to be a repeater?

No, your mag box is too short for the Swift loaded cartridge length.

Like your screen name!!!!

Maybe not, check the length of the mag box once the bracket is removed, and compare that to a COAL measurement of the Swift.

also have a model 10 with accutrigger, can anyone help with a parts list?
thanks

5spd's parts list included a new mag box and follower - install that and you can repeat to your heart's desire (within the normal limits of the swift's semi rim design - go to load the mag carefully!).
