well you could start with telling what caliber it is currently set up for now.

Savage is adding a rifle in that chambering to their line, I think its a 25 but I'm not sure. I'm going to hold out and try that. The bolt head is smaller than everything else so you would need a custom one built.

Bolt head and barrel would need changing as previously pointed out. Biggest problem will be getting it too reliabily feed considering the small diameter of the case body. Not even sure how the bolt is set up on AR's but do know the upper is completely different. Magazine is on top of the upper and shells rotate 90 degrees and then feed down. I had considered doing this but dropped the idea after due consideration. Might make a good varmit round but from available information appears reloading is difficult. Believe I'll just go with either the 17 or 221 Remington Fireballs instead.
