Kos,
imagine this.. good can come from a troll.. who told us it would fit... and Nick, who reminded me it should

i've been fiddling with the concept of building another 500 jeffe on a 98... i've got some vz24, a brazilian, and an "unknown" 98 (this one is going to be a 243)

just kicking the idea around, but i THINK you can make one that will hold 2 down, fairly easy, and 3 down with lots of work...

it'll never feed right, without custom metal or metal work
