    Keep in mind people that these ‘big bore’ calibers use a single feed ramp upper, so you might not be able to use the upper for say .223 afterwards. Or you might have to modify a upper than has had the M4 feed ramps already cut.

    Why would you have to modify an upper that has M4 feed ramps already cut?

    It's my understanding that the m4 feed ramps aren't optimal for center feeding that comes with the big bore rounds. The bottom center locking lug is right in the way of the round being able to feed as smoothly as staggered feed like 223 or 300 blk. That's my understanding anyways. The proper barrel extension would alleviate these problems

    Because the barrel extension looks like this.

    I know what it looks like.

    You can't even see the feed ramps cut into the upper, the magazine covers them.

    let us know the results when you physically try this.
    If it's either loud, obnoxious, fast, hated by the general population or any combination of these, I OWN IT!!

    How about 500 S&W ?
    Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.

    The rim would cause feeding problems and the bolt would probably be too weak. It sticks out 27 thou from the body.
