Yes, it was a real ad… in 1981 Stevie Wonder was hired to do an Atari ad! Marketing was savage in the ‘80’s!

…

I'd rather a design with no compromises. 700 triggers and chassis are plentiful but it hasn't stopped people from buying Annies, CZs, AIs, etc. If he's going for innovation don't hamstring it by shoving it into a limiting box right off the bat. The 700 platform was not originally designed as a .22lr and the 40x was only made as a "1:1" trainer for their centerfire rifles. There are other companies that produce and will be releasing 700 based actions.

Last thing first: What issue(s) are you having?

The 15-round mags amplify "sensitivities" found in the 10-rounders:

• The magazine MUST!! be held at the correct height in your chassis or stock.
  My 2019-vintage rifle is in an MDT BA Comp chassis. When it first came from Vudoo, the non-adjustable mag latch allowed about 3/16" or so of vertical play. This was enough to cause feed failures, especially with the last round or two in my 10-round polymer mags. @RAVAGE88 identified the issue immediately upon seeing it. The end result was my receiving an adjustable latch from MPA; as I understand it, that latch is now standard on the BA Comp chassis.
  
  More broadly, consider the gigantic challenge of stripping a rimmed cartridge with a butter soft bullet off an under-tension stack of cartridges and feeding it into a chamber only a few thousandths of an inch larger in diameter than the bullet, without that bullet suffering scrapes or dents on the way in. Then add the manufacturing tolerances of the plethora of R700 stocks and chassis. It's actually pretty incredible that Vudoos work as well as they do.
  
  
• The mags, ESPECIALLY the 15-rounders, MUST be loaded correctly.
  Look at the cartridge column in my post's photo (included again here) - notice the alternating pattern of the stack. This is accomplished by pressing the follower button down just enough to slide a round under the feed lips, then release the button. The bullet nose should orient itself just above the front of the mag as shown. If the round is "flat" - not angled as shown and the bullet nose points straight at the front wall of the mag - it's wrong; fix it by tapping the base of the mag gently and/or use a fingernail to pull back and down on the cartridge rim; it should pop into position.
  
  Even if each round is loaded correctly, you may notice two bullet noses on the same side of the mag - no alternation. If you leave that uncorrected, a stoppage is almost guaranteed when the bolt tries to feed that slightly misaligned round.
  
  The 10-round mags have the same requirement; it's just that the column doesn't show the pattern as clearly.
  ----------------

The "If you know, you know" comment refers to having a 15-round mag with a follower button that makes inserting all 15 incredibly slippery Lapua cartridges in hot weather almost easy. The follower button on ten-round magazines with extensions on them only helps with the first ten, then the last two or five or whatever rounds have to be pushed onto the stack. In August heat, that lube makes manhandling a round onto the stack almost comical.

This is a good topic and there's some things to share that I believe everyone can get something out of.

First, back in the 2008 to 2010 timeframe as the original thoughts and initial designs were coming together for an AICS form factor rimfire magazine, THE chassis standard for centerfire was the Accuracy International AICS chassis (for the Rem700 platform) that, of course, used the AICS magazine. There were no other considerable chassis systems or magazines.

So, the original Accuracy International prints were used for the proper physical dimensioning of the magazine receptacle and the physical envelope of the magazine. Of course there was no adjustable latch in the chassis or adjustable catch on the magazine housing. So, it goes without say that because a standard was used, none of these things were used in my magazine housing design or my DBM and there were no feed issues, shaving lead and so forth.

Things move along and the "system" was happy. Then, XLR enters the scene and guess what? Feed issues. Why? Because there was no common "standard" employed and the mag latch was a different dimension than the Accuracy International mag latch. And this problem manifested from there every time another chassis or DBM hit the market.

So, with the permission of Accuracy International, I started contacting the other chassis makers and offering up the actual information that would eliminate the ripple of issues that propagated further across the community each time a new chassis (or DBM) was introduced. The DBM I benchmarked was the Badger Ordnance M5 because Marty hit it out of the park, but he also had a relationship with Accuracy International and has been at this game longer than most.

Sadly, not all the makers were receptive, which is fine, but I'll say that Phil Cashin was the best at having the conversation and responding with a solution that set the stage. I love his chassis systems.

So, when one wonders why there's a need for an adjustable catch or latch, now you know. As I've said before, the mindset associated with copying is different than the mindset used to create (Phil creates). And I want to be clear, there's A LOT of good product out there from A LOT of good sources and I'm not poo pooing anything. Just sharing a perspective that may turn on a few light bulbs....

Would trade towards leupold mark 4 spotter.

I got about 3/4 way through this and just turned it off… it sucked. Decided “maybe I’ll give it another go” and I was just in a bad mood when I watched the first time.

Nope… didn’t even make it half way through.

Great concept… shitty execution. The actual story would have been perfectly good without turning it into a gay marvel comic book.

No I just said it. Sorry you’re a fudd that needs a safety switch.

I thought you were just a moron getting all your opinions from the gun store, but you’re fucking next level. Now I’m pretty fuckin sure you’re an employee and work the counter at the gun store.

I used to think Mas Ayobe (however you spell it) was a fucking moron, but when considering the public, and all the non-gun/afraid-of-guns people what he says suddenly makes sense.

We can’t all be bad ass operators like you who stack bodies like cordwood. Some people need a manual safety, because pistols are not their hobby, they are not going to train day and night, in the freezing cold and burning heat, on the top of mountains and at the bottom of the sea, like you, and they just aren’t as physically and mentally as awesome as you are Ace. Most people are fat slob fucking idiots, and a manual safety will probably save them from themselves. They are in far more danger of an ND than a safety when attacked. The problem is that terminators like you convince them that unless they’re carrying for combat they’re pussies. So you sell them a Glock and they don’t practice, and their stupid booger hook shoots themselves or someone they love. Nice job. Good gun storeing. Have an extra whole pizza for lunch to reward yourself.

I can’t even imagine all your YouTube senseis who give you your opinions. When I picture you it’s a cross between Stephen Segal and Claude VanDam.

@Dirty D got confused again, put the peanut butter on the dogs balls.....

One thing that seems to be new standard since the Clintons is massive pay to play for admin relatives. They are literaly flying around the world selling scams and BS .

Whole crypto fraud scheme is just getting obnoxious ,Trump and Melania coin were massive rug pulls , are worth peanuts after the 'early investors' cashed in. But they are still going at it , like folks previously invested in Hunter Bidens dealings same actors 'invest' into Trumps scams to gain access and/or curry favor . We can skip the whole real estate angle deals in countries you are extorting over tariffs .(Vietnam resort and golfcourse)

Makes insider trading in Congress look like hard honest work and well earned wealth , these crypto pump and dumps are outright fraud , designed from inception as pump and dumps .


At 1.5mio$ per person diner are they also serving some underage pu**y from non existing Epstein list or just jail free fraud

I fucking hate these people. Today I met my daughter for breakfast. We walked my granddaughter to school then went to a local place and had a meal. We are sitting at the counter. There are three empty spaces in each direction and having a chat.

15 mins into the meal a tattooed, ear gage, nose ring faggot from the local private college plops down dead assed next to me. Then he starts moaning like a two dollar whore about me crowding him. He's damn near yelling and rocking back and forth and I'm ignoring him until he elbows me and loudly repeats his bullshit.

I said politely, " Go fuck yourself asshole, you fucking plopped your faggy ass next to me." If you don't like it fucking move your ass. There are two empty seats beside you. He yells, " Are you going to pay me to move? I said, " I'll pay you to fuck your own face". He started next with how he didn't like my language. I laughed and said I didn't want monkey pox, so if he moved I'd feel safer.

After some whining, this fuckwit finally shut up and went about his day. Never moving from beside me.

So what's was the problem? How the fuck do I know. Mostly it appears my carhartt shirt and looking like a Trump voter set off a leftist from the nearby liberal arts college.

Fucking assholes.

I wonder what the issue is with the JP one piece rings? I’ve been using McFarland one piece rings in my Armalites for 26 years and I’ve never had an issue with them. Maybe they are spec’d differently?

Click to expand...

From what I understand, their rings are designed for their bolt, which in turn is designed for their low mass carrier. Because their carrier is lighter than a standard carrier, the gas rings on the bolt don't need to create as much friction to prevent bolt bounce. However, when used with a standard carrier, which has more momentum due to its mass, the rings don't have the friction necessary to prevent bolt bounce.
