Fhuqk yourself...mainly because you will get more poozy. Hint. Congratulations?!?

1000 words in 224 Grendel and 243 BR...and now you can say you've "seen" one. Hint.

I'm rather steeped in AICS footprint mags and am afforded the luxury of not being forced to guess,while you GOTTA pilfer and plagiarize from others. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Now one can go AICS bindered mag,roll PRIMAL BR guts and tweak feedlips to Grendel...but they sure as fhuqk ain't gonna roll as issued.

Ooooopsie!

Hint.

Not you "know" too.

I don't really have any love for detachable mags on hunting rifles. I keep a few ARs and Glocks around for applications that lend themselves to mag changes.

I'd like to figure out a way to put in a blind mag. The mag that came with isn't designed to have rounds pushed straight down in it, so other guts will need to be explored. Possibly a solid bottom metal and the guts of a shortened AICS mag stuffed in the stock? Maybe one of those bastard hinged setups like Browning used on the BAR semi autos? I'm perfectly happy with 2 or 3 down. Also, I may just block the mag well off and use it as a single shot. At the very least, I will shorten the mag as several folks have already documented.

I could live with a laminate stock. I've gotten them down pretty light before by hogging out a lot of the material in the butt and the barrel channel. I'll wait and see if there are any new stocks at SHOT show for the mini.

In hunting mode it will most likely have a Leupold 6x36 on it.

I'd want an AICS DBM in .264",simply for the COAL latitude. It's also a nice way to tote extry rounds in a pack,or a pocket.

Single shot bolts,loose luster quickly..................(grin)

Doesn’t look like there’s much to making the mag flush fit if you want

So if I’m reading your 1,000 words, you went CF stock / floor plate on one and carved down/painted the other?

The carbon fiber is a hydro-dip.

there is no floorplate on the mini action only a molded plastic trigger guard-magwell.

I forget the full details. Owner dude did it before the dipping.... I think, IIRC, it's just a plug, not functional, circa mid 2016.

It’s a great rifle. I hate the magazine. I now know I hate ANY kind of detachable magazine on a bolt gun.
