I'm fucking clueless when it comes to these so bear with me...
Do you have to have the feed rails removed for the HS/Badger?

how the hell does the detachable mag work if you leave your feed rails in the fucking action? i no get it....
i'm about to ask his help here. i'm fucking lost..... can i just give someone my CC # and have this go away....grins
The feed rails no longer do anything important. The mag hooks into the Badger DM bottom metal and threads the needle through the existing rails.
Make some sense?

HS DBM's feed ala the center,so shit sickles betwixt the rails,less impediment.
Badger M4 bottoms are simply a muchly robustified improvement upon the BDL issued metal and feed ala the rails,from side to side. One could club baby Seals with a Badger bottom,to great affect. They are grossly overengineered and that is their appeal.
So both HS and Badger needn't a rail tweak,to feed cartridges of the receiver's initial design.
To bump a .473" 308 based receiver to SAUM or WSM ala HS DBM,you need to open the rails,so the squatty-bodies will enter the raceway via centerfeed magazine.
That of course in conjunction with opening up the boltface,to .532" as well.
I can like HS a bunch,as they are robust,positive,foolproof,made of S/S,ride flush on the underside and are of positive retention,while allowing hasty ammo swaps.
Am anxious to drive a few Seekins DBM's,as they are a series of improvements upon a like concept and everything he's shared with me in their regard,makes perfect fucking sense from a utilitarian standpoint.
Such things interest me...............

If contemplating a fast twisted 223 or 223AI and upper echelon BC projectiles,Glen Seekin's baby appeals the most to me.
He assures a 2.500" COAL,proprietary mags and I dig that the bottom is alloy(for fending my salt weather). Pics he sent me,are Skookum +P.
Prices indicated,were rather favorable,weighing the total package........................

Glen's rings are like no other I've held and used. I'd be proud to have any of his offerings on my rifles and ask him weekly to send me the 223 DM's to test 
I'll be first on the phone when he announces they are available.

you got any need for a PN 3 groove 10 twist 25 cal SS Match Rem mountain contour blank? set to finish at 22"
I do not,but 'Humper might....as he was ALL 25'd up today and pinched my 25-06AI dies as proof.
Got a Rem 600 bolt in .473" that ain't cracked lengthwise in a few places?!!?
I could use one of them,to curtail an early Retirement..................

McMillan rear grip repeater.. will feed a 308 case with a different follower. It's been teflon'd.. here's a pic...
Shead, check out matt williams bdl metal, unless you're wanting dm. The price is good, and its a drop in for factory inlet. He was on the old forum and not sure if he figued out that it came here. I know it took me a while. Blake should set up one of those redirect things.

Numerich's finds them occasionally and sells for cheaper, but you have to keep checking with them.
