Bolt head diffs
« on: July 18, 2006, 09:54:03 AM »
What is the difference between the controlled feed and the push feed bolt heads available at Midway? 

I have a Sav. 11g that is going to be converted to 7.62x39 and I planned to open up a 223 bolt head to fit. 

Which head do I want and why?

Thanks in advance,

Dean

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I thought the controlled round-feed bolt head was for the Winchester short magnum cases.  All other chamberings use the push feed bolt head.

By gum, I believe you're right!  I hadn't looked at the caliber offerings in each of the feed-styles, but when I did I saw what you'd described.

I'm ordering one today!

Thanks much,
Dean
