I'm converting a wsm bolt to a 243 bolt...
I know I need at least a firing pin and bolt face(midway has been out of stock on bolt faces) but do I need something else too?
Do i need just a new firing pin or firing pin assembly?

There are two types of boltheads for the WSM rifles. Do you have an older one off of a staggered feed gun or an older one off of a centerfeed gun?
Maybe this sticky will help;

center feed
Just realized that there are some centerfeed guns that still use the older WSM bolthead.
When refrencing the pictures, which bolthead do you have?
Controlled round feed. Kinda figured out what all i need. why do they have a controlled round feed on the wsms?
The WSM case has a tendancy to "jump" out of the magazine sometimes. Winchester went with what they call a controlled round push feed on their push feed WSM rifles, very similar to the Savage bolt head.
