[QUOTE="Sage70, post: 2401284, member: 119027"] The only parts you will need to change a pre 64 Winchester from a long action 30-06 type cartridge to a shorter 308 Winchester type cartridge is a short action bolt stop ring, a short action ejector, a magazine box with a baffle, a short action follower and spring. In the past it was more easy to find the parts on eBay but today they don't show up as often and are more expensive. Just watch eBay for the parts you need. It's also easy for a good gunsmith to change a pre 64 barrel and the cost today to purchase a used 308 Winchester barrel is about $100 and another $125 to have it installed by a gunsmith. [/QUOTE]
