Ya, that really answers the question of the probability of being able to rebarrel a .223 to a .204 :rolleyes: 0 -

It shows all the sizes and what machining would be necessary to custom.
All Short actions can be rebarreled in another short action, bolt face may have to change and head space etc
Mate of mine reaming out a .223 to a .220 swift :eek:
Another guy I know went from .308-7mm-08
Another guy I know will be going 6.5x47 from a .223 soon!0 -

There is no machining necessary to the bolt head to change from .223 to .204 0 -

square pegs rounds holes Bunny.........
There is 2 sides to a round, it has to fit both ends;)
Think about it bunny C'mon, you don't have to change the entire barrel
Why don't you ream out your .204 to a .223 and use 90grain VLDs and shoot past 300 (your comfort zone

Square pegs will go into round holes .................. you just have to hit them harder with a BIG hammer

Changing the barrel will sort one end and I'll repeat myself ........... the bolt doesn't need to be machined so that sorts the other end :rolleyes:Tackleberrywho wrote: »Think about it bunny C'mon, you don't have to change the entire barrel
Easier to though

Can someone in THIS country do this for me?
Anyway why would I want a .223 when .204 is better :P
I don't shoot foxes past 300 yards so no need to go outside my comfort zone.
Tac, give me the shovel
