    Savage axis bolt head swap .308 family to .223


    Just bought a savage axis action with a .473 bolt face for a 300 blackout project. Not sure what the exact chambering was. Question is what all do I need parts wise for the swap? Can I just buy a .223 bolt head and replace the larger bolt head or do I need to change out the bolt body also? Any info would be great. Thanks

    Bolt head replacement should be all you need. Of course, the magazine would have to be replaced too.
