Checking for anyone willing to part with a legacy AI AW magnum.

338LM highly preferred--with questions below about interchangeability.
Non-folder preferred. Folder OK.
Round count/condition not a concern.
Rifle only preferred. Can discuss package deals.

Budget wise... I'm aware of the $15k listing. Since it's a 300WM + scope package I'm keeping an eye out.

Questions:

As I understand, switching from AW long action 300WM to 338LM requires changing both barrel and bolt. Can the bolt head be swapped? Any info on sourcing a bolt or if AXSR/AXMC long action bolts' compatibility with AW(S)M? Might contact AI or MileHigh for more details.

Only bolt body (barrel), the firing pin assembly is the same for 300wm/338lm
no, AXMC / AXSR will not fit AWSM
