223 BOLT QUESTION

[bsekf]

Was the 223 ever built on the long action?
If so, would that 223 bolt work in a normal long action, without modification?

What I am trying to do is convert my long action to 223 with a complete new bolt. I do not want to change the bolt head on my bolt.

If I can do this, where do I start looking for a complete bolt?

It can be done but I believe SSS is the only one that makes the .223 bolt head that will work on a long action...

bolt heads are different and the bolt head for a 110 .223 has not been made in many years. you need the SSS kit.

...and GOOD LUCK getting SSS on the phone or even email to take your money for said kit...
