I'm looking to swap my model 10 .308 to .223.

Besides the barrel and bolt head, does anything else need to be changed?

Is the baffle spring reused or is there a special one for the .223 bolt head?

Thanks

A mag and a 223 bolt baffle to shorten The stroke is a nice to have.

It's a blind magazine. Will that one work, or do I need to replace that also?

If you plan on going single feed just get a sled from Fred, if you want to load the internal mag, you may need to swap out the internal mag parts for smooth operation.

If it’s a center feed believe you can find a .223 mag insert. If however it is a stagger feed then finding the correct insert may be very difficult to find.

Keep the 308 & build an AR for the 223. :peace:
