| Slightly off topic, is your receiver from a SAUM as well? If so, you might encounter feeding issues with a standard .473 round. There are quite a few differences in the mag well opening, feed lip lengths, and release points for different calibers.If you are converting to a single stack this doesn't matter as much. |

| ^^^^^^^ What Kendog said........ And no doubt about it, you will have feeding issues if using a Rem internal magazine system.

I actually went back and forth with Old Remington a few years back about this. We were trying to get a 722 in 222 to feed 7.62X39. I asked for details about the different feed rail/caliber combinations and they replied "were not prepared to discuss this with anyone like you"!! |

Yes sir I am aware. Its my brother's gun so I am going to experiment a little with converting to a Howa style detachable magazine. Im converting the rifle to a 6mm Rem so the OAL length will be pretty close. We will see. |
