So I figured i would post a cheat sheet for everyone that may need help for your next rifle build. These calibers should work with your receiver with just a barrel swap. Some calibers may need minor work done on the feed rails to work correctly. I dont have every caliber listed but its close.

I thought it would be a good idea. Now when people want to do a rifle buld they dont necesarily have to buy a new rifle or reciever. Maybe that old 30-06 isnt quite what u want so instead of buying a hole new rifle they can rebarrel and chamber. Sometimes people have a hard time getting ammo for odd calibers hopefully this can help people with that also by giving them other options.
