I wonder it the 6 o'clock lug would work with ar-15 magazines for the 223 and similar calibers? COAL would be restricted, but mags are plentiful. Does anyone make an ar15 dbm besides PT&G?

KRG has their blem sale live. Just bought a bravo for $260

Sent you a pm. Will take this if still available.

Morgan at class III machine in Dallas is who I've used. I think its $75 + shipping for a chop and thread. About 1 week turnaround.

You mentioned ammo availability, so I would recommend 300wsm if you plan on elk hunting with it. Otherwise 6.5 prc.

Stock arrived.

I really like the yhm qd system for semiauto platforms. simple, taper for sealing/alignment, one hand on/off and inexpensive. only negative is weight, but the micro version are bringing that down.

I also bought one of these stocks, so I'm interested to read responses to your question. I'll probably drop my 16" 300blk rem 700 into the one I bought. If I really like the stock, I might build a sbr in 375raptor or 8.6blackout for pig hunting off it. Ive been wanting a bolt sbr lately.

Another vote for the kifaru gun bearer setup. Use it elk hunting.

Noveske added some eh4 stocks to their sale. I just bought one. https://noveske.com/products/manners-mcs-eh4-elite-hunter-stock-noveske-custom-contour/ Sam

Have the wheeler vise with oak blocks, for occasional use it works fine. I would recommend resin. If price isn't an issue, I think SAC modular is the best. https://www.shortactioncustoms.com/modular-barrel-vise-kit

LRI will fit manners stocks to the howa mini. They have a post about their process in the gunsmithing section.

Yugga, Along with the mark5 you should consider the hd5 or hd6 line. For hunting in Louisiana I would want a second focal plane iluminated reticle. Something simple like the T-MOA VX-6HD 3-18x44. Would work well for treesand oak bottom whitetail and out west for mule deer. Plus it would save...

Hey bubba, What is you primary intended use for the rifle? If its long range hunting, I'd recommend a seekins havak in 300 wm. They run about $1600 new, but you might be able to find a deal in the PX. Sam

With the acis wsm mags you should be able to load out to 2.950" coal. Keep in mind the archimedes isn't cut for standard rem bdl bottom metal, so you will need to run m5 bottom metal. I believe the mausingfield is cut for the bdl and m5. Sam
