Savage Model 12FVSS barreled action 270 wsm

Short answer: yes.
The short action bolt heads are interchangeable. The WSM has longer bolt lugs, and therefore, a longer firing pin. You may or may not be able to adjust the firing pin length depending on the date of manufacture and the parts available at that time. The rifle most likely is a large shank action, requiring a large shank barrel. Easily swapped, but not without a few hitches.
Review the Savage FAQ’s for information on how to tell the difference between large and small shank actions, and the difference between WSM and standard bolt heads.

Thanks, It is a Large shank barrel.
So I take it that a short lug is required, is the firing pin adjustable or can a shorter one be purchased.
With regards to fitting a new barrel, the gunsmith would just have a longer threaded tang to accommodate the short lug?
Does the larger shank barrel fit into a normal stock, was probably going to fit into a MDT savage short action chassis.
Thanks
