Did you start out with standard .308 size bolt face?

 

[Ndbowhunter]

Unless I’m mistaken a guy with a goofy spelling to a common name just did that?

he’s a good dude

 

[jkdrgn]

Did the extractor need any modifications?

 

[Glory]

Rut roh. I see a carbon barrel. Post the finished rifle.

 

[Shooter71]

No mods to the extractor. Thought it might need a tiny tig pad on the bottom, but worked perfectly without.

 

[Kimber7man]

Dang dude, you’re like, killing it....

 

[Dhbwa]

You guys are pretty mean to one of the few decent dudes in Cali......

Now if it had a real stock.....

 

[Kimber7man]

Well, there might be another tikka and proof barrel headed to Cali as we speak.....

Another question if I may when switching to 6.5 PRC did you need to change bottom metal or is the magazine able to fit PRC rounds? Is there any difference in magnum bolt length over regular bolts? I believe regular bolt face is 12mm and magnum is 13.5 mm correct? Reason my asking is I can buy regular bolt face for 369.00 if the only difference is the bolt face maybe I could get one and open it up. Sorry for all the questions but I am really interested in the PRC.

 

[Dhbwa]

The only difference is the face. Have yours opened it’s less than 1/2 the cost of buying another.
I need a std bolt for an action that USPS lost......

What about bottom metal magazines and such will 6.5 PRC fit OK. I know where you can buy regular bolt but they are 369 dollars.

So, you’re saying I can pick up any 308 based cartridge T3X, put a 6.5 PRC barrel on it, and get the bolt modified and I’m good to go? If it were a .260 or 6.5 Creedmoor could the chamber simply be reamed to 6.5 PRC (and bolt mod..)?
