223 to 7-08

[cowboybart]

What parts do I need and where is the best place to source them?
I have a 223 stagger feed and want to make it a 7-08 stagger feed.

You will need a barrel, a 308 bolt head with ejector and extractor parts installed and a 308 magazine. Bolt heads are available at midway, gunshack and other places. The magazines will be found used in various forum classifieds, A WTB ad would help. Barrel...... Whadoyawant?

I have the 7-08 barrel. I'll check Gunshack.

I think 7mm08 is a great caliber, good luck and have fun !!!!

Staggerfeed magazine may be difficult to find. I had a staggerfeed 223 that I wanted to rebarrel to 338 Federal and ended up selling the rifle and purchasing one in 243 becasue I couldn't find the staggerfeed magazine.

I don't have a stock yet. How hard is it to convert it to a center feed??
