Re: Surgeon RSR - mill to accept AW mags?
Yes it can be done but don't do it unless you know exactly what you are doing or you'll end up with an expensive paperweight.
This is their tactical action that I did for a guy in .243
And this is a Remington.
There is no difference in the RSR then the two above.

Well it can and will be done. Once you cut the action the trick is to bed everything in the correct position. I bid $10,000 but I'll sell you mine for less.
I'm going to put my comp 308 with AW mags up for sale soon.

Thanks for the info. So I take it any good gunsmith can get this done rather easily? I haven't collected all my parts so I haven't decided on a smith. </div></div>
No some won't touch it and some that have done it in the past won't do it any longer since there is a Remington footprint custom action out there that is already cut for the AW mags.
This is my Guardian action made for me by Defiance Machine that I designed to work with both the AICS and AW mags. Several builders are now using this auction with their branding to build rifles.

Wow nice rifles Randy! Look excellent. Will you mill it? Or do you try to stay away from them?
I assume that's why Jared bid $10K! Doesn't want to get into it, huh...

It can be a pain. It has to be done in such a way to allow the AICS mag and the AW mag to work but not let the mags push up too far into the action. The big trick is the feed ramp and if this is screwed up the action is crap.
This is the main reason I worked with Glen at Defiance. I had the design idea and had him do the machine work. Since then it made no sense to machine any other action. By the time you pay for someone else’s custom action, or the Remington action, and then pay for the machine work to convert it you would have been better off getting the action from Defiance.
Since the release of the Guardian action I no longer offer the AW conversion, the .243 above was the last conversion I did.

Re: Surgeon RSR - mill to accept AW mags?
Yes I did bid $10k because it really is a lot of work when Glenn makes an action that works without all the work.
This is my Surgeon action 308 that I'm going to put up for sale when I find the time.
