    Extra length gas system.

    White oak armament offers a 17.17 inch gas tube (standard is 15-1/8 inch) that I was thinking of using for a 6.5 creedmoor build with a 26 or 28 inch barrel. Has anyone had experience with the longer tube or should I just use the standard with adjustable gas block? Thanks.

    Surgeon wsm and AW mag?

    Can the surgeon 591 wsm action be machined to feed from an AW mag? If it can has anyone done it and what is your experience with feeding? Sorry if this is covered but I can't find it. Just think it would be nice to be able to top feed the mag and take advantage of the extra OAL of the AW mag.
