6.5x47 OAL in AICS and bolt handle clearance

[Alan Griffith]

As I'm obtaining or about to obtain parts for my Alacart 6.5x47, questions arise.

What OAL is obtainable in the AICS mag for the 6.5x47 Lapua cartridge?

Have a new Surgeon SA heading my way from Brownells as I type this. About to order a 1.5 AICS stock. Will the Surgeon bolt handle clear the stock bolt handle cut or will their be some cutting required?

Alan,
I just put a Surgeon 6.5x47 in an AICS 2.0 and everything fit perfectly, bolt recoil lug etc. My lug was the same thickness as a factory Rem lug as I remember. Just over .250. I purchased the AICS stuff from Adam Bauer who is on SH, and he is GTG.

The two AICS that I had fitted to the Surgeon needed to have the bolt handle area relieved. The bottom of the surgeon handle is round unlike the remington.

Regarding OAL. I shoot 123 Scenars and 130 JLK's and I have plenty of room in an AICS magazine.
