Using 30-06 Axis barrel and bolt head
I currently have a 111 in .300 win mag and an axis in 30-06. I just tried my 30-06 bolt head on my 111 and it appears to fit and function fine. Now I am thinking I may put my axis 30-06 barrel on my savage 111 along with the 30-06 bolt head and magazine to turn my 111 into a 30-06 and then figure out a caliber for my axis instead of trading/selling my 111. Does anyone see any issues with using the axis parts in the 111?

Using 30-06 Axis barrel and bolt head
The axis uses a short action bolt head and you now have too much firing pin protrusion. In a jam in the past I've added stainless washers between the firing pin and bolt head to limit firing pin travel with success. I would not use it as is now you will likely pierce a primer or break the firing pin.
