    12 FV .223 action


    Can I rebarrel this action to any short action caliber such as 6mm Rem or 260? I know the bolt face needs changing but is there anything else I need to be aware of?

    ^^^^ Ditto what he said and add that if you want a repeater you will have to change the box mag to a .243/.308 mag.
    More shooting, less typing.

    You will also need to change the bolt baffle behind the bolt head
