    Looking to do a 308 conversion from my 223.... 19668...


    I have researched alot. I could find a definite yes or no if it's possible with my rifle . I have a model 11 .223 with the axis style mag and NO accutrigger. Model 19668. I'm using a choate stock that has room for a longer mag. If its possible, I know I will have to change bolt head and barrel. But I'm wondering if it's possible over all... and if it is, what do I have to do? I'm already going to change barrel.... I have a lite barrel... I'm assuming, bolt head. Barrel. Mag.
    Anyone have any experience in this conversion?

    Disclaimer..... I know this isn't the best rifle in the world. I'm not looking to hit 2 miles. I just want something diff of what I have cause, well, I can.. I'm not planning to re do the whole doj background bs to get another rifle and spend a bunch a cash to gather a "better 308" then my 223.

    Thank you.

    yes. Mag and barrel and bolt head all need to be changed, as you noted.
