The big plus is you are always just one bolt head swap away from all those .473 bolt head calibers.

Thanks Jim. I have already built a 308 rifle with the 18184 RB/RP target action (I bought a Shilen barrel from you for it, it is great) so I am looking to build another one in 223.

Are the 18184 and 18185 identical in terms of dimensions with the exception of the bolt head? If so, how does one procure just a bolt head and what would it entail to switch the bolthead on a bolt?
