    No they wont, the lips on a 223 mag are narrower. Easy to open the length of your 223 mag a bit but if you go to much you may have to do the bolt stop also
    If its guns, tits or tyres it's going to cost you lots of money

    did you extend the follower and do you find that the bolt sometimes slides over top of the back of the case?
