WTT, WTB Remington 700 short action bolt, .308 Win. face.

[lcclower]

I have a 6mm Remington ready to rebarrel to .243 Winchester, I need a bolt with the correct face.
Would like to trade the 6mm bolt for a .243 bolt, or trade bolts with some cash, or buy used bolt outright.
And anyone want a used 6mm barrel, 6mm reloading dies, quite a bit of brass.
Please PM me back here.

Aren’t they the same bolt face?

[BK7saum]

Both 6mm Remington and .243 have a bolt face for the 0.473 case head.

Both the 6mm remington and .243 winchester have a 0.473+/- case head.

Yep, same bolt.

I believe 6mm is a long action and 243 is a short action.

Mea Culpa!

My former 6mm Remington - custom was a LA

If factory, 6mm is a short action IIRC with a <2.825 coal. If running 100-115 grain bullets, a long action custom build would be a nice option.
