so I have a 700 p 223 coming in and already talked to the smith about rechambering it to 223ai. I figure I can at least fireform a ton of brass with the factory barrel and then down the line blueprint and rebarrel. then I would already have Ackley brass to play with. I was considering restocking it with either a rock solid or manners/McMillan. my 260 has a McMillan a5 bdl inlet on it now and was going to have someone (likely GAP) inlet it for a ptg bottom metal I have laying around. so here is where the dumb question comes in. I assume I could just swap the a5 to the 223 and run it as is as a bdl. now could I have it inletted and instal the ptg and use 223 ai polymer mags? I have heard it can be an issue with savages but what about the remmy? would the rock solid take either 223 polymer or 308 aics mags? the main use of the 223ai would be groundhog and coyote hunting. should I just inlet the a5 for the ptg and keep it with the 260? sorry for the dumb questions but I have never played with the aics system and really want to get it right the first time
thanks,
matt
