    .223 112FV to 6.5x284 switch, what do I need?


    Hi all, great forum. Lots of info but I'm having a difficult time figuring out what exactly is needed to change my .223 112FV over to the 6.5.

    I expect I'll need:
    Barrel
    Bolt head (30-06 size?)
    Guages
    Magazine box
    Barrel nut wrench, action wrench and vise.

    I'm a bit confused with regard to the firing pin hole size needed on the new bolt head. Midway refers to a small hole and it looks like all of their replacement bolt heads are small hole, with this be a problem with my old rifle? I'm a bit unsure about the shank size, my information tends to indicate I have a small shank based upon the age and caliber of the rifle. Serial number starts with F and is a flat rear.

    Is there anything missing from my parts list?

    Savage changed firing pin hole sizes a while back...

    Your new LA 308 bolt face will be small...so...

    you need a new small firing pin...or carefully grind down

    the shank on the old one to fit new bolt head.......

    I use FL sized brass from my dies..not gauges...

    You can eliminate the box mag problems...use a LA s/shot follower...

    Or buy a new/used mag box for the new 6.5..

    Yes...nut wrench...action wrench...vise...Kroil & hair dryer to aid in removal

    Yes more than likely a small shank....

    What 6.5 do you have in mind......?



    S/shot Savage & heavy Pac Nor's rock !! 'JM' Marlin lever gun nut !

    6.5x284 Norma. I'm looking for a repeater for hunting so the box mag will be needed. Who sells those?

    Thanks for the help!
