I have a 7.62x39 boltface Daly Mini Mauser action. Can I just swap the bolt with a 223 boltface. I guess I'll need the box, follower, etc... | ||

new bolt will change the headspace & i'm not sure you can get one | |||

Rich Here's a pic of a 223 action on the left and a 7.62 action on the right. The bolts should interchange, but going from large to small would pose some feeding challenges. As well as headspace, trigger, safeties, extractors, needing to be regulated.  | |||

ASSUMING you can find a bolt. Best bet try an action swap. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

You are already taking about rebarelling one rifle to 300BLK. So, why not rebarrel the .223 to .300 BLK? Then you could take the barrel you removed (.223) and put it on the 7.62 action. You will need to have that barrel set back and rechambered to 22PPC. Setting the barrel back (cutting the chamber and rethreading) will be required to go from .223 to .22 PPC. 1. Buy .300 BLK barrel and fit it to the rifle currently chambered in .223 2. Have the .223 barrel you removed fit to the 7.62 action, set it back and rechamber for .22 PPC. You will still only be buying one barrel and both rifles will retain their original bolts. Am I missing a reason this cannot be done? . | |||

Grenadier I think that is the best idea. Rich
