Is it true that to convert my Ruger 5.56 to the 350 legend all I need is an upper?
Nothing else?
No fitting?
If so which brand would you recommend and why?

True and you should get the mags from wilson combat.

True and you should get the mags from wilson combat. Had feeding trouble with other brands.

Would it really just be a barrel and bolt that are needed?  May consider putting an upper together.

Just a barrel and a mag.

Bolt is common with .223/5.56, as I understand it.

Barrel/mag change required for conversion.


Edit: Beat, above.

Well, crap.  Time to source a barrel and some mags.  I think I have everything else.

You will need a different muzzle brake or flash hider if you go that route. .224 and .356 is a significant opening difference...........

350 also works better with carbine buffer in my experience.

I bought a 350L CMMG barrel and mag kit, swapped out a 300 BO barrel. R9 suppressor.
Lower is a PSA complete lower.
