Hi All,
I had picked a NOS Model 7 action with a 223 bolt face many years ago when Brownell's was selling them around the time of the Remington bankruptcy. It was a 223 bolt face and intended from the factory for a 300 BLK.
Anyways, I managed to stumble on some other inexpensive NOS parts, most namely a surplus Remington Defense barrel and HS Precision stock, and ended up screwing together a complete rifle. The bottom metal is PTG steel BDL.
The problem I have is that I can't seem to find the appropriate follower to feed 300 BLK. I tried a 3-D printed unit intended for 223, but this could only hold 1 in the magazine with the rest of the rounds dumping out when I tried to feed from the mag. It did feed the first round from the mag without issue.
I have no idea where to go about finding one of these, or what alternate follower to use that would also work. The only other option I could think of would be to get the PTG bottom metal that takes AR-15 mags, but this is on backorder and who knows if this would actually ever be available.
I appreciate the collective wisdom of the Hide mind. I would also consider modifying an existing follower if that is an option.
