Gunsmithing Stiller Tac 338 in an AICS

[cwshooter]

What's invloved here? I understand a slot needs to be milled for the recoil lug. Will this coincide with a solid part of the action, or the tubing portion? Will the larger OD on the action itself require any additional milling?
Also, I spoke with Stiller regarding the new CIP mag chassis. They weren't sure on the measurements on the CIP and how they might fit up with their mag port. If anybody's got some inside info on the dimensions, or how it might fit up, please chime in.
I've got an action on the way, and am considering stock options.

Gonna drop a tac-338 into the new AX AICS. Anyone know if the CIP length magazine will fit the tac338?

The Stiller TAC 338 will not fit in the new AX Chassis.

Even if mods are made to the chassis? I know some slight milling was required with the older AICS.

The TAC 338 can be made to fit in the AICS. I built one in a 2.0 early this year. The new recoil lug position requires some milling and an aluminum filler block fastened in behind it. The skins need to be relived at the top for the larger diameter action. Jerry Stiller can explain how to do it. Here is the one I did.

It can fit in the Legacy AICS not in the AX AICS....
If you want a TAC - 338 In AICS you must go with the Legacy AICS...

Thank you for the feedback gentlemen.
And Thunderbolt, sorry for being such a stubborn dolt. I just noticed you answered that question on multiple threads, lol.
Looks like a lot of the aftermarket receivers are not fitting the AICS AX chassis. Its a damn shame.

Love the paint Toygunner! Is that a hydro dip, or is that hand painted? Got any better pics?
