I have a LA Magnum action and was wondering if a 6.5 creed will work or if the action is opened up to much? I know most people run a SA when building a creed.
Will a 6.5 Creed work in a magnum LA?

The bolt face is too big in diameter.
The extractor won't engage the rim.
The rails are too far apart.
The magazine is too long unless blocked up shorter.
The follower is not the size to accommodate the shorter, smaller diameter Creedmoor cartridges.
Other than that, it just might work!

It will cost more, and definitely be more work than purchasing the correct receiver. Sell or trade the magnum for a standard, SA receiver.

That's about what i figured. I do have a standard bolt for a LA as i knew about the bolt face issue. Just wasnt sure about the rails.
I guess its back to the drawing board and not using parts i have laying around.

There is nothing wrong with using parts you have laying around. This has been responsible for a bunch of interesting builds over the years. But as is implicit within that concept, the parts need to work correctly!
Enjoy the process!

I chambered a 6.5 creed on a LA Win model 70, smoothest setup ever.
Think this was the magazine I used:
