Mag box, follower for 223AI?

[Cinch]

I'm in the parts gathering stage for a new 223AI build and I'm not sure what will work best for the mag box and follower. It will be built on a Stiller Tac30 with an M4 bottom metal. I want to have room to seat out the 75gr Amaxes and not have feeding problems. Thanks for any advice.

I have used, and am about to pick up another, a standard remington action with the factory mag box and follower tweaked slightly. My gunsmith lengthened the mag box by adjusting the spacer in the back, and added a piece of metal to stabilize the follower due to the excess length in the mag box. It works quite well.

I don't know if you are totally against running a dbm, but why not just use a badger ordnance m5 bottom metal with the new ai 223 mags. 10 round capacity and lots of room to seat them out long.
