1 WEEK LEFT: This Target Haunts Me Contest
Tell us about the one that got away, the flier that ruined your group, the zero that drifted, the shot you still see when you close your eyes. Winner will receive a free scope!
The one I have in it is just a single shot sled. That’s the one big hiccup with a setup like this, no magazines currently. I found that AI makes a long action .308 mag with a spacer so I’m curious if the feedlips could be adjusted to hold 223
Exactly, I thought about the concept since I first saw the AI AXMC/DT SRS but didn’t have that kinda money lol. So this is my version of a multical switchbarrel. With the swappable bolt heads and muzzle flats this should work pretty well
Just tested my LA CDG in a flat breech 223 with a longer 2.45” 75gr ELD round, feeds alright but sometimes hangs up if you run it slow. The general consensus was correct, run it fast and intentionally and it will feed fine. Not gonna say it’s 100% reliable because even time tested platforms have...
I don’t have any experience with the LSS XL but that’s another good choice. I consider it basic because it doesn’t have the added features that most others I was considering had, but the adjustable mag latch is a nice added benefit for sure.
CDG LA 20Moa, currently a .22” 223 Rem but also have a 24” 300WM barrel for it. Ultradyne UD7 chassis with XLR TR-2 buttstock. Arken EP5 5-25
Anybody opened up a 3.715” AICS magwell for the 3.850” CIP AICS mags? That’s the only real change I want to make and it sounds as simple as filing 0.135”...
The action length is the same, the difference is the bolt stop. Considering they’re both short action cartridges you should just need a barrel, bolt, and magazine. Complete bolt assembly to change, not just a bolt head.
Yes, switch barrel rig is what I’m building with it. Started with a couple take off Savage barrels (22” 223 that’s on it currently, and a 24” LRH 300WM) because I got them cheap, but I’m gonna go shouldered Prefit from now on. 223-37XC on the same platform… sounds damn good to me!
The 223 ammo...
Finally got it all together after solving some manufacturing issues with the chassis. As a LA 223Rem it runs better than I thought it would, but you definitely have to put some intention into closing the bolt.
All in all it’s pretty much everything I want, and the couple changes I have thought...
Just tried it with my .223 barrel (albeit a single shot sled not mag fed). It works fine if you put a little authority behind it, doesn’t have to be fast just can’t run it slow and lazy like.
Used a run of the mill lead tipped round at AR mag length which after repeated chambering was a little...
