I have a Savage 12LRP in 260Rem with Bartlein med. palma barrel that has less than 800rounds and shoots great but would like to re-barrel the the 12LRP to a 223 for training/fun. If possible, I would like to have the 260 barrel from the savage (large shank) spun for an AI AT. Does anyone know if that's doable? Thanks
 
Savage has interchangeable bolts heads. It's going to cost $30 to change the bolt to a 223.
As far as the 260barrel, I realize that as is a large shank savage barrel will not fit an AI. I'm just wondering if it's possible to recut/chamber a large savage barrel to AI spec. I don't really need a 260 barrel for the AI but don't want to waste it either.
