Bolt Interchangablty

[35Whelenshooter]

Alcon,

I have a 300WSM large shank. Will I be able to change bolt faces to .473 (.308) size, because I would like to shoot 22-250, 220 Swift, 6.5 Creedmoore 260 Rem.
I would entertain any help on what I can and do to interchanging of bolts.

Thanks

Yes you can. I switch my 270wsm large shank to a .204 ruger for the summer for prairie dogs. Very simple swap to a new bolt head. If your wsm is controlled round feed you will also need to remove the standing ejector.

What do you do about the firing pin?

That gets swapped out to. I even switch the bolt handle, stock, and scope. but those are for cosmetic reasons not function.
