Gunsmithing Reciever/Factory BM Problem

[cuutter]

Hello everyone, I ran into this problem today and don't know what to do. While putting this rifle togather I found that the reciever didn't have a lip on the bottom to catch the factory follower. I looked at another reciever I had and it has a lip on the bottom on it to catch the follower. I have encluded pictures of both reciever's. Other than installing a DBM on this reciever is there anything else I can do.
Thanks for your help.

Re: Reciever/Factory BM Problem

The receiver on the bottom was made for a larger diameter round (probably a RUM round) than the one on top. That's the reason for the different feed lips. You might be stuck having to get a dbm of some sort.

Kevin Wyatt at Wyatt's Outdoor makes a variety of boxes for the Remmy 700. Some of them have feed lips incorporated into the box. I am sure you can get a box from him that will work. He also just came out with a very informational publication called "The Smoke and Mirrors of the Feed Cycle". If you are a gunsmith and have to fix or make actions feed this publication will save you many frustrating hours.

Re: Reciever/Factory BM Problem

First, thank you guys for the input. I found a factory DM I can use for this one. I will pay closer attention next time. Also thanks AJ for the heads up on the book. Got one coming.

Thanks all again
