Hello folks, I'm needing 1 or 2 T3 long action magazines (standard 3 round). Im working on handloading some longer rounds for my 7mm08. Please let me know if you have one you could part with for a reasonable price.
Thanks very much,
JT

Bump

Did you change the bolt stop? IIRC the bolt stop will not allow you to use the LA mag to it's full effectiveness in a SA caliber...

That's the plan is modding the bolt stop.
Thanks

This is something I have thought about. Shorten the bolt stop and use a 06 magazine with a T3 in 308 win so I can seat the bullet out to touch the rifling and still feed from the magazine.

Has anyone done this?

Yes and it does work. Parts were/perhaps are available from Brownell's. Mine is a T3 in 338 Federal.

So you replaced the bolt stop with one for a long cartridge like a 3006 and then put in the 3006 length magazine?

Then you could seat the bullets out close to the lands?

Yes. No longer have the COL issues with the longer heavier bullets.

There is a youtube video showing how you can grind/file down the bolt stop to allow for longer bolt throw. Or you can buy a new one at exorbitant retail pricing. Ive seen a kit which includes both the long and short bolt stops(why both i'm not sure) and it is at least 50 bucks if I remember correctly.

The kit from Berretta/Brownell's has both short and long stops and is rather expensive. You can file/modify the stock one as well. I choose to get the kit.
