Type 97 NSR 5.56 to 6.8 SPC

Can a cartridge conversion from 5.56 to 6.8 SPC be done in the Norinco T97 NSR with out changing anything and still utilize the same M16 mags?
Thanx

When you say "without changing anything" I assume you mean exclusive of the barrel. Aside from finding a 6.8 barrel, I understand the barrels are pinned in which means replacing it causes a major problem in itself. I also believe the mags are slightly different although the 223s could probably be tweaked to work. Not sure about the bolt head itself as I forget if the 223 & 6.8 head dimensions are the same.

Overall I'd say it's going to be a big (read expensive) job.
