A standard (308/30-06) bolt face, firing pin, and a 308 Winchester magazine box and follower is all you'll need to convert to the 308 cartridge family. If the action has the standing ejector you'll need to remove it and install a regular ejector, ball, and spring in the new bolt head. Any barrel you purchase will need to be threaded for a large shank action. Without changing the bolt head, your caliber choices are the WSM's and their wildcats, the WSSM's with some work to make them feed properly, the SAUM family, and the 350 or 6.5mm Remington Mags.
