    savage 12 .223 to .220 swift, please help me.


    I have a left hand hand bull barrel model 12, accutrigger, in 223. I want to convert it to 220 swift, can anybody help me with what I need to do to accomplish it?
    thanks

    New bolt head with ejector/extractor as they come without them usually, new bolt baffle...or a new bolt for about $100 complete,
    new magazine & follower as the .223 box has a metal bracket in it to shorten it up. Barrel of course, go gauge, barrel wrench.
    Everything can be found at MidwayUsa also.
    Being a M12 short action it will/may be a single shot in the .220 swift.

    will this allow it to be a repeater?

    No, your mag box is too short for the Swift loaded cartridge length.

    Maybe not, check the length of the mag box once the bracket is removed, and compare that to a COAL measurement of the Swift.

    5spd's parts list included a new mag box and follower - install that and you can repeat to your heart's desire (within the normal limits of the swift's semi rim design - go to load the mag carefully!).
