converting xp 100 from 7mm br to 6mm br

[richard295]

Gents . . . would this conversion require bolt modification?
The present xp 100 I have is with standard factory barrel and I have a shilen 6mm br barrel threaded for the xp 100. Aside from headspace adjustment, is there anything else that would need to be addressed?

Nope. Easy to do.

It should be an easy job unless,there's always an unless) the replacement barrel was fitted and chambered for a blueprinted action and/or an action from a different era. Trouble is, you won't know for sure until you try it. If you're unlucky, nothing will fit. If you're lucky it will go together slicker than snot in which case you should run out and buy a lottery ticket.
