This is the build: Surgeon 591 Action, Krieger #17 1 in 8 twist, .243AI, Jewel trigger, A5 stock. Can't get the bottom metal figured out. I want DM's, and I don't like the "tabs" that hang off Surgeon's metal, I have read un-flattering things about H&S, Seekins stuff looks really good, but I want to run AI mags. Need a little help.

Thanks.

HS is all S/S,flush,skookum and robust.

For starters.............

I have had a few of the HS DBM's and never had a problem with them, that being said I just go ADL on the thing and not worry about it.........Blake

Now this is all internet BS, I'm sure, which is why I asked the question here, but I've been told that the HS stuff is prone to rattling, and that they use some kind of o-ring to help retain the magazine? Bullshit or fact? It sounds like BS to me, but tell me more about them.

Thanks.

R,

ADL is my default favorite,dat's a given..............

I gun HS on 4 or 5 different rifles(all s/a) and haven't anything negative to say. There is an O-ring that rides on the bottom of themag,upon a pronounced lip that it can't slide over(fall off the bottom). All my mags mate squarely,snugly,soundly and I've zero complaint in any regard.

As a notorious rock crawler/rock rester,I'm a great fan of flush bellies upon a Utility Rifle..............

This rifle is going to be very heavy, and won't see much rock. Grassy fields, and long shots, hence the DM in the first place. I'll take a closer look at HS.

Thanks.

My heaviest shit,is the one's that are flopped on or near the ground the most.......

Here's an HS DBM with mag fully seated. It LOCKS into place,with nary a wiggle in ANY direction. On the mags alongside,you can see the rubber O-ring thingy at the mag base.

223AI and 22-250 stoked,75A-Max of course in each..............

Thats the freakin ticket right there! No feed issues with the 243AI? Thanks for the picture! If it's not too much of a pain in the ass, could you snap one installed, on an A5 if possible?

Thanks.
