    Savage 340 30-30


    Does anyone know if it is possible to rebarrel the 340 and change it to a 223? Would it be worth it?
    thx,
    Kelly

    factory did. You have the challenge of finding an obsolete bolt to do yours.

    Convert a 340 30-30 to .223

    I have done this twice. Big job, lots of different parts besides the barrel: New bolt or bolt head head, extraction and ejection systems, magazines, magazine guides. My advice: don't do it unless you have lots of time and money to spare.
