I believe you did and should name it, "Stranger Things." MB

Yes, one problem is the magazine to DBM fit, but if I published a list that relates to why the rimfire bolt action has to be systemized, you'd likely be amazed at how long that list would be. This isn't actually a stupid idea, but the issue we run into is, the ammo business has historically...

Now you're talkin.... MB

Dude, you're hilarious but you're actually not far off either. The closest thing to what you're describing is the rotary magazine, which, in my opinion, is the best package ever devised for ammo but the worst mechanical solution as it relates to how the ammo/bullet is treated. Keep 'em...

Beat me to it. :LOL: MB

A standard, as it's specifically defined for the purpose of the variation we're discussing, conforms to widely accepted/agreed upon measurement(s)/value(s). If the Rem 700 was a "standard," Remington failed to meet their own standard and anyone that has ever measured any number of Remington...

First, to keep things relevant and clear, the 700 footprint is not a "standard." Second, anything that is stamped steel has a larger tolerance band based on process than anything that's machined. So, this approach doesn't "cure" anything, but instead, lends itself to "fixin it til it's broken"...

Something like that, but what's pictured won't work well, as it's fixed and the issue of variation still exists. I designed a spring loaded piston back in 2009 as part of my DBM and I believe the machined feature that accepts the piston is still part of the Vudoo DBM. However, at Vudoo, the...

100% without a single doubt....the basis of my conviction on the topic. MB

I don't believe you're alone with this and the perspective has value. What I hear you pointing out is, the mag latch is a symptom of a larger issue and I've spoken to it over the years as variation. If we look at where the current convention originated and associate that to the incredibly large...

Actually, he's not wrong, he's just presenting a different perspective and we need different perspectives....that's how we made it to where we are now. So, the question isn't dumb inasmuch as the application needs a bit of fine tuning. @ma smith , keep the questions coming and I'm hoping you...

I recommend we don't "fix it til it's broken." What you're looking for is a cure to subjectivity, which is exactly what @ohiofarmer is referring to, and he's spot on. Everyone that participates in this community has an ability to select what suits them and I foresee that they'll continue to do...

Sorry, falling on deaf ears Dude, but thanks. I'm intimately familiar with the math associated with CoG and although that math is applicable to many things, it has no place in determining whether the AICS form factor magazine is relevant to this community beyond 2018. MB

I don't know yet, but leaning towards "no" unless there's a compelling enough reason to do another single shot. MB

No sir, not related at all. MB
