    Swapping 7mm Rem Mag to .233 Rem


    Besides the barrel and bolt face what is required to make this change? Will a new firing pin be required and will this have to be a single shooter only or can a .223 magazine fit the LA mag port?

    If this is a staggerfeed,remember that everything was made on a long action and I have one in .223. The box mag has a spacer tack welded inside to shorten it up and it uses the longer front baffle to limit bolt throw,so it is doable if you can find the parts. I would bet sss would have the box mag and the longer front baffle.

    You will have to use a short action bolt head, and an extended firing pin stop nut to limit the firing pin protrusion. A .223 mag box will work if use use an "L" bracket extension to hols it in place.

    This is what I believe I need as well so I can switch my 25-06 over to shoot .223
    Very interested in getting one of these!
