[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2860690, member: 126985"] The bolt would probably fit inside the reciever, but likely the headspace would be off. A 222 mag has a longer case body and a different datum length than a 222 but with the correct go and no-go gauges, its possible to have them have the correct head space with one bolt, or from another 222 or 223...bolt tolerance stack up, bolt lugs, bolt face depth, chamber depths, recoil lug thickness, etc all add to up to make things just slightly out go & no go or on the edge of interchangeability.. a field gauge can be used and still be safe ...then the authorized for emergency use weapon, issued to the grunt. I ran 8000 rds through a 308 rifle that was factory chambered and the no gauge closed, but wouldn't go on the extra .002". Just size the brass to the deminsions of the long chamber. [/QUOTE]
