.223 to .204 Ruger conversion...

[runnerC2]

What will this take? I think I'm in the middle of a "rifle epiphany" of sorts, and I'm considering making the switch. Do I just need a .204 upper? Let's make this happen!

What do you have now? If you already have a .223 upper all you need is a barrel to swap out and you will be shooting .204. If you dont want to swap barrels then just get a 204 upper and strap it on your AR-15 lower and shoot. I love my 204.

Pull the 223 barrel off, put a 204 barrel on.

Some people say you need to check headspace, some people say you don't.

Okay,...how many folks out there have run into "headspace" issues on their build enough that sacrifices accuracy or put you in harms way,..and what was done to resolve the issue?
