    Putting a .308 barrel on a 10fp with stock .223 barrel Questions


    I thought about getting a .308 barrel to replace the .223 barrel on my 10fp and was wondering what all would have to be changed besides the bolt head? Thank You! :)

    What kind of magazine setup do you have?

    Hmn! not really sure but, I'll check into it all I know is it's not removable I think the stock uses the newer action screw spacing if that helps any. Thanks :)

    You most likely have a centerfeed blind magazine. You may have to switch out the mag box and follower.

    I believe your right about the center feed because when I was looking at B&C Gold Medalist stocks that's what stock style I needed. Thanks Again for the info! :)

    If you go single shot, all you will need is the single shot follower (SSS), barrel and bolt head/baffle.
