Manners PRS2 & Defiance

[smg1231]

I recently picked up a Defiance Ruckus and would like to use it in a Manners PRS2 w/ mini chassis that was inletted for a Surgeon 591. Obviously, the action port is longer on the defiance…so how would you guys address it?

-Leave it alone? Will it have an negative impact on ejection?
-Hit it with a dremel? Does it need to be sealed after?
-Send it back to Manners? Trying to avoid this option since I am currently stationed in Hawaii and shipping is expensive.

Try it and see if it catches brass on ejection. I hate doing it but I’ve taken the Dremel to a couple manners for the ejection port or side bolt release. I know manners sells little jars of paint to touch up those areas. I’ve always just used a sharpie. Just up to personal preference and how OCD you are.

I had my PRS2 sorted by the smith while the action was in getting a barrel spun up, but the way I would tackle it would be with some jewellers files. A round one for the end contour and flat to take out the material between.

Slow speed Dremel and touch up paint...if serious OCD, send back to Manners and pay shipping and maybe 100$
