Okay guys I did some searching, lots of searching and I'm a little confused. I have a Stevens 200 223 cal and would like to switch to 7mm-08. I know you have to change bolt head, baffle, and magazine. My question is abut the firing pin. Does it use the same firing pin? Or do I have to swap it out?
Same firing pin assembly. If your swapping the bolt head parts you'll need an extractor for the larger rim, the 223's is longer from the detent( where the ball fits) to the outside.

Bill,
Thanks for the answer on firing pin. I have converted another short action to 7 SAUM, so I have the complete head bolt,and magazine to change over the 223 cal. I have a 7mm-08 20" factory carbine barrel that I will swap back and forth.
