Firstly...I REALLY fucking LOVE this rifle!
Skookum,as per always and thanks yet again.
Some things that matter.(grin) Bolt handle is welded,pinhole bushed and pin turned to fit same.
Mocking up stock fit andmaking metal up.
The handle as cited prior is a RHR sourced GB Outlander and in BDL. I kinda/sorta had this done on a "wrong" receiver(223 instead of 308),so going BDL wasn't a feed/function option available to me. I'm outta milled 223 followers and prefer a shoe horned 308 feed rail geometry,for the girthtitude of Grendelness. And then of course,because I DO have 308 milled followers.(grin)
Anywhoo...no thang to AICS DBM inlet a GB Outlander. Mags lock right THE fuck up(more than a few pards don't like my Magtatidue) and the bolt nose rides right where it matters.
The Fire Control System is a Flatty Fuck and those ergos suit me.
The GB M5 RHR DBM needed a shelf removal,to accept same. No thang with a Dremel.
I grabbed LOTSA brass from my various 224 and 243 AFI's(Turnbolt and Krunchenticker both),to foolproof mag internals,on the nominated AM steel 5rd 223 Donors. Bang the polymer feed lips away and thin the internal body portion. I heeded an internal neck datum,to preclude recoil nudges,but that might not even make a fuck,with 27grs of Lever' and an 88.9grin)
I always like to see a casehead riding at about 2/3's primer height and this NASTY Bitch do.
COAL is fucking golden and 90 Beer Cans are of course viable,in this Bart' 7" RPM.
Rather modest weight,killer balance and even with a 3-9x on board,shit's gonna happen.(grin)
I'm waiting on more 2-12x's to arrive and when they do,I'm slapping one aboard ASAP. As much for Parallax,as the Illumination,but locking turrets and a zero stop don't piss me off.
Passed (4) Bucks this morning,but mighta' caved and cracked one with this newest rifle,if'n I had it in tow.
That Kali kid is rather something else.
Hint...................(grin)
