I have a old model 116 in 300 RUM controlled feed it is possible to change it to a push feed by installing a push feed bolt head? I have to remove the fixed ejector only?
Good! Thanks guys
And check the headspace after changing the bolt head.....
You can reuse your extractor parts, but you'll need to purchase the new ejector parts for the push feed bolt head.
You may not be happy with the way it feeds if it's a stagger feed action, which I'm sure it is if it's controlled round feed.

I have a control feed magnum that I run with a push feed 473 head at times.
You remove the trigger pin, remove the ejector and its easiest to just have the 2nd bolt head set up with an extractor and of course you need an ejector with all the pins parts and springs for both. +1 on checking the head space.
Just out of curiosity why are you swapping ?
Is it so you can single feed straight into the chamber ?
I will swap the barrel for a 338 Edge, the rifle will be a single shot so no problem about the staggered feed mag. My bolt head is in perfect condition I just asked this to know if it's feasible in the possibility of bolt face damage like gas blow-by around the primer, popped primer, etc... I'm not sure if controlled feed heads are still available.
Yes they are...
