Horrible price of course, but you can make about 50 of those spacers out of it and other cute stuff as well. I think if you go down to your version of metal supermarket they will sell you a 36x36 inch square of 1/32 cold rolled 1018 sheet for about $20. I know it works well, but I'm a bit cheep and I'm against the one for two mag box conversions Butch described. Again I'm not entirely sure what you're up to but I would double-thunk that a bit. Its nice to see about at least 25% of the cartridge in the front action ring and or chamber or more for that mater before the feed rails give up control. When the cartridges leave the feed rails they have a nasty habit of hopping right out of the action. I'll never take another project like this!Not sure what your trying to do there Ken but mag box spacers in the front are typically a BAD idea. Ran this plan by Kevin Wyatt a few weeks ago and he concurred that it would be a good approach. 308 box with a few fillers of sheet metal or drill rod to control the internal box width as well as holding the shoulder of the rounds to the rear. I plan on doing something very similar, with the spacer at the front, rather than the rear. I saw Bryants mag box early on in my project. There are other versions of this reamer available, but this is the one Ed Harris said would work. 308 barrel and the JGS Lapua reamer, it is a whole new ball game. Accuracy is bad, but it is with that stuff anyway. 308 bore with no big issues, pressure or otherwise. You can shoot 7.62X39 surplus ball through a. After 8 or 10 rounds they start to stove up under side force and won't go through the bottle neck where the feed lips begin at the bottom. They are a bit of a balancing act but once they work, they work well up to about 10 rounds. Once the cartridges get below the feed lip area they stagger in the lower portion of the mag. The ones I made used a flat follower and the first round just chooses which side it wants to start from. Make the outer body first and get it so that it latches into the gun properly and then build the inside guide and feed lips. They are surprisingly easy to make and its easiest to make the parts on the mill and cannibalize an old mag for the body and solder it together with tin. I have made a couple over the years just for fun and a couple custom guns. They hold the cartridge on both sides so it is a controlled round feed from the mag and you can design it to feed damned near any cartridge. You can load one, or one hundred at a time with stripper clips. When you push a cartridge down on the feed lips they go down and retreat to the sides until the cartridge goes under the lips, at that point the lips pop up and grasp the cartridge. Similer to the clip ejection spring in the older Savage 110C but upside down. The inner lips have a simple music wire spring on either side that puts upward pressure on them at all times.
Well, if you feel industrious you can make a straight line ram feed mag similar to the Blaser R93. I had a cutter ground to match the feed lip angle, and thought I might ratio the lips the same as the difference between the 222 and 308 lips and ratio the box width as well, but as we all know it is much easier to cut than to put back.Ĭhucker?Be careful what you wish for Ken ! lol My Remington customer wants to use this rifle for reduced course NRA Highpower matches and wants to stripper clip charge the action. Not to jack your thread, but if anyone has any thoughts on making this round feed from the Rem mag, lets hear it.
The SKS mags dont adapt to the Rem as well as the 98 Mauser. Feeding from the existing magazine is quite a nightmare, as I am finding out with a Rem 722/.222 conversion to the same caliber. Had to weld up the boltface to fit the rim, and also adapted the action to take a single stack Romanian SKS magazine. The gun will shoot 135 and 155 Sierra match bullets under 3/4" all day long. 308 dia 10" twist barrel and a 7.62X39 Lapua (Per Ed Harris' suggestion) reamer from JGS. I recently built a 98 mauser in this caliber.
