Re: Need a Smith for AICS mag modification for 300 RUM
Have you tried 300rum in an un-modified 338 mag yet?
It should be a pretty simple job to bring each lip in 0.015".
I say it's simple, but that's probably because I have a special pair of 1.5" wide flat jawed pliers I use for mag lips...

That's not the problem. The shoulder is too far forward and hits the re-enforcement rib in the magazine. I saw the pic's in another thread of the ribs milled out but, all they said was someone named Stacey did it and I saw he hasn't posted since 2010.

Re: Need a Smith for AICS mag modification for 300 RUM
I have a .338 LM mag that I use for my 300 RUM. The great folks at Mile High in Colorado hooked me up. They told me the 300 RUM takes the same Mag as the .338 LM I have no trouble with it.

I would like to see more, and how on this because non of the AI mags in 338 LM will work with the 300 RUM. The reinforcement ribs pressed into the sides of the box don't allow the brass to be loaded. How did they make it work, or is there a different brand mag??
If you can, please show close up pics of yours, as there are a lot of misinformed people like me that would like to see it. Thanks

Mile High in Colorado takes out the pressed in rib of the 338, or if you have a skilled hand you can do the same. I forgot they milled out the small spot on the reinforcement rib.

Jeff at CDI did one of mine and yes the middle rib had to be removed, looks simple enough but again I didn't do it.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but has anyone heard of any smiths out there who can convert a RH 338LM AICS into a lefty?

Re: Need a Smith for AICS mag modification for 300 RUM
I don't know what's the deal with mine, but I run 8mm Remington Magnum in a AICS 338 CIP with no problem. I had to bend the feed lips a bit but no issues with a reinforcing rib. The shoulders are in the same place. I'll look at it and post a picture.
