Bought an 84M Varmint .204 with the intention of rebarreling to 1:7 223Rem and dropping it into a spare a Montana stock. Issued mag-box is 2.275-ish. What's the best way to get it to 2.5"-2.6"ish? Cut the spacer out and shorten it or??? The bolt stop and ejector are fairly self-explanatory, just wondering the easiest way to get the mag-box right.

Well, it only took me about 3hrs and 25 trips in/out of the stock of doing it wrong before I got it right, but, now it feeds like shit through a goose. I haven't shot any 75's yet but it bugholes 50's, no reason to expect it won't do the same w/75's.

Nabbed another Montana stock this week and a 223 LPT a few Mo back so I'll probably rinse/repeat the process so each kid has a Frankentana w/the right twist and box configuration.
