changing a older 110e .308 to .223

[Willoughby]

I'm in the prcess of changing a older 110e .308 to .223
I thought it was a S/A but it had a L/A bolt head -
luckily I had a friend make me a adapter for another project
so I used that here-
the original bolt head had a pin in it and a relief in the baffle
and the leading edge of lugs were tapered
dont know if this is from wear of actually made that way
the action lugs are also tapered

any way I put a small bevel on the new bolt
had to set firing pin protrusion several times to get a repeatable .035 in the action
I measured it with the bolt dissasembled -
then when I reassembled the bolt & checked it in the action- it seemed to change
noit sure why -but it took several try's to get a repeatable .035 in the action
on the original set up the pin protrusion was being limited by the cocking pin? I think thats the correct name for it
but I dont think it was set up correctly -last time someone had it apart
the as for spring compression it is neither 1.900 or 2.600
& Im not sure where to set it at
hopefully someone who knows will chime in
maybe even sharpshooter will help out with the correct answer
I've got all the peices now except a sf follower
which I'm trying to make whil looking for one
and the barrel which will be here in july august time frame
hopefully I"ll have the rest of this figured out by then & a follower made or found
thanks for any advise on spring compression data
and does any one know if the ramped lugs & bolt are factory
and the reieved baffle -pinned head is factory?
