I have researched alot. I could find a definite yes or no if it's possible with my rifle . I have a model 11 .223 with the axis style mag and NO accutrigger. Model 19668. I'm using a choate stock that has room for a longer mag. If its possible, I know I will have to change bolt head and barrel. But I'm wondering if it's possible over all... and if it is, what do I have to do? I'm already going to change barrel.... I have a lite barrel... I'm assuming, bolt head. Barrel. Mag.
Anyone have any experience in this conversion?

Disclaimer..... I know this isn't the best rifle in the world. I'm not looking to hit 2 miles. I just want something diff of what I have cause, well, I can.. I'm not planning to re do the whole doj background bs to get another rifle and spend a bunch a cash to gather a "better 308" then my 223.

Thank you.

yes. Mag and barrel and bolt head all need to be changed, as you noted.

Yes,

Creedmoor uses same bolt head and mag as .308.

Tell your buddies I said they are idjuts. :)
