111 30-06 rebarrel to 7mm rem

[wjarrell]

Hey yall first time poster. I have an old pre acu-trigger model 111 in 30-06 that is sentimental to me. I would like to turn it into a 7mm rem mag with a new barrel and a magnum bolt head. Is there any other parts I need to make the gun function properly? I will have my gunsmith do the install (I don't have the nut wrench, barrel vise, or go no go gauges) I've herd some people say that this conversion will give me feed problems, is this true and what can be done to fix it? Thanks guys, Will

That should be all you need, and you shouldn't have any problems feeding.

Is the magazine box different?

[Hotolds442]

The 7 and 300 Mag boxes are different, but most have found that the 30/06-270 magazines feed just fine.

I got an older 110 in 7 mm mag. I also have 30-06 and 270 barrels Magnum and Standard bolt heads You can change them out with only concern beyond what you list is the need for head spacing. I have 30-06 and 7 mag gages and I have had no isssues with feeding from a blind stagger feed magazine.
