I just recently purchased a ptg dbm from RSW here on the hide. I decided to install it myself and it is in now. But it won't feed but only the 1st round. Anybody got any way of helping me. Its a .223 build on a budget

What is exactly happening on the second attempt, bolt wise?

Did you mock it up with the pillars before you put it into the stock?

Re: dyi dbm install HELP!
I have to rack the bolt about 4 to 5 times for the next round to load.
I didn't mock pillars. The bc stock has the aluminum block in it. Its a medallion A2

that is the common issue, especially with .223 - some folks get all bummed because there rifle is not as "pretty" with the bottom metal sitting below flush

Re: dyi dbm install HELP!
My PTG is so thick I still have it sticking out about and 1/8". But it feeds great now.

Re: dyi dbm install HELP!
I just put a PTG in my HS Precision stock. It's a .308. I mocked it all together and made sure it cycled well. I then measured from the bottom of the reciever to the top of the bottom metal with feeler gauges. I believe it was like 0.015" or so front and back near the feed area. I then started cutting the glass with the dremel, and the aluminum bedding block with the die grinder and a carbide. Go slow and keep test fitting.
Here's how mine turned out after a quick paint job. I don't think it's too bad for a manual, do it yourself, dremel and krylon job.

Sorry....best advice I have is go slow and steady. I actually did have one area that I chipped the HS stock on by slipping with the die grinder. Fortunately I had some glass laying around and touched it up. It's not always about how good of a job you initially do, it's about how well you can fix up what you boogered up.

Re: dyi dbm install HELP!
That's a good job. I will have some filling to do myself, as well. My 308 went to the gunsmith to see if he could do better with a seekins but ended up being the same issue. Pic up as soon as I am done moving

You're not alone. I did one of those Hogue rubber stocks recently, and it wasn't pretty.

Re: dyi dbm install HELP!
Yeah that rubber doesn't like being messed with too much. That's why I went with the bc
