    223 to 7-08


    What parts do I need and where is the best place to source them?
    I have a 223 stagger feed and want to make it a 7-08 stagger feed.

    You will need a barrel, a 308 bolt head with ejector and extractor parts installed and a 308 magazine. Bolt heads are available at midway, gunshack and other places. The magazines will be found used in various forum classifieds, A WTB ad would help. Barrel...... Whadoyawant?
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    Staggerfeed magazine may be difficult to find. I had a staggerfeed 223 that I wanted to rebarrel to 338 Federal and ended up selling the rifle and purchasing one in 243 becasue I couldn't find the staggerfeed magazine.
