Hi
I want to convert my centerfeed stevens 200 223 to 308 bolt face and magazine.
Is this as easy as removing the bolt head and baffle and swapping magazines?
I am in Australia so a little less easy to find the parts sometimes but is there a part number for the 308 mag or could I just removed the blocking piece out of the 223 magazine and widen the lips a little and extend the follower?
I see CDI do a bottome metal detachable mag setup but I have also read that I can just use other savage parts to do it as well. Would this mean bottome metal from a short action with DBM should be workable? I realise that this means some stock mods as well.
Cheers
Ryan
