Try one in a 22-250 rifle and I bet it will feed. The venturi shoulder may not do anything for gas combustion but it does help with smooth feeding. I have not seen the 224 but have seen a couple of it's big brother the 240 W on unaltered 700 actions. These used 25-06 followers and magazines and fed fine.

The 22-250 or Swift magazine and follower should work, but I have not tried this.


"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
