Caliber conversion on a Savage short-action

lundi 20 avril 2015

Since there's been a few people that have asked, I'm going to do a down and dirty outline on how hard/easy it is to re-barrel a Savage 10 short-action.

Tools needed:

Barrel nut wrench - Wheeler has a decent set available at Midway, you WILL need it. http://ift.tt/1F6ZtSF

Receiver/action wrench - some say you can do with just barrel blocks, that wasn't my experience. Also available at Midway - http://ift.tt/1F6ZtSN

Go/No-Go gauges.

Sturdy bench-vise.

Rubber mallet, and a 2lbs. hard face mallet.

3/8" Torque wrench - optional, but I'd suggest using it if you have one available.



**Now there CAN be more needed parts if you're changing to a different caliber. Example - I swapped from a .223Rem to a .260Rem, so I needed a .308 bolt head and the related internal magazine parts since the .260 is a larger round that's based off the .308 case.
