Can I Change my 243 No.1 to 22-250
How do I go about makeing my Ruger No.1 from 243 winchester to a 22-250 Rem.I already have a new barrel for it is there any other parts I need to get?Will this action work ok?What about the extractor?Thanks in advance.

All you need is to rebarrel & set headspace, using a barrel of similar contour (so you don't have to modify the fore-end hanger).

The headsize of the .22-250 & .243 are the same (.473").
