I am considering ordering a Remington S.A. receiver from Brownells.
I want to build a .223 rifle to test bullets I have swaged.
The problem is that the bolt face is .473" in diameter.
The .223 bolt face needs to be .380" diameter.
Is is possible to reduce the diameter to .380"?
If so what is the procedure?
I realize I could buy a .223 rifle, but I would like to McGowan's Remage system so I can swap barrels for different calibers.
The Remage system uses a barrel nut like Savage does, only it is for Remington rifles.
Simply install the desired barrel, set headspace, tighten the barrel nut and you are ready to shoot.
If I can modify my own bolts this should (I hope) save me money and the hassle of buying a new firearm.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
I do know how to run a manual lathe and mill as well as cnc machines.
