Hey guys I'm trying to make my first rifle build and I want a detachable bow magazine for my 700 I'm using. What are your suggestions? I saw the legacy arms kit for it but I haven't seen anyone in Canada selling them. The rifle is chambered in 308win any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
 
IRUN Guns sells "some" of the legacy kits - they are about the cheapest, price wise out there if you are working on a limited budget.
 
I hope they've redesigned that piece of plastic sh!t legacy calls a DBM. Its made by ATI with a 2 piece design plastic welded together with a plastic cone washer that the action screw pushes into its countersunk hole, which puts alot of force on the two halves causing them to split. Legacy would not answer my emails so I through it in the garbage and cut my losses.
 
I am really looking to only spend around $200 for the kit, I could be persuaded to spend more depending on if the system is going to be much better. Extra mags and stuff don't really bother me price wise. I'm looking for a style that I can do some quicker mag changes with, the rifle I am building is going to be more of run and gun higher capacity for light weight SHTF and because a 10 round 308 caliber rifle with a 20inch barrel that can reach out and touch anything from 25 meters to 800 meters is just a lot of fun.
 
$200 at Blackrose Tactical gets you an Atlasworxs DBM. Made in Austrailia and styled after the Badger DBM but almost $400 cheaper. Machining is nice with no chatter marks but edges are more square. Not as refined as the Badger and doesn't include the bedding pillars you get with the Badger either. You can order direct from Atlasworxs, $165 USD shipped from Australia. I don't know if there will be duties and brokerage on top. Blackrose doesn't advertise the DBM's as Atlasworxs but thats what they are. I have one waiting to be installed, inletting is required and I believe they use a Badger M5 inlet. Another affordable option is PTG at $130 USD plus shipping. Jerry at Mystic Precision sells CDI, last time I looked they were $245 CDN. All are anodized aluminum copies or spin offs of Badger. And if you do a search, Barney AKA Tactical Teacher did a writeup on fitting the Magpul DBM to a cheap R700 tupperware stock pretty easily. $110 at CTCSupplies.ca. All use AI mags, I'm a fan of Accurate Mags. They allow a max OAL of 3.055" and insert on a closed bolt. I wasn't overly impressed with MDT mags but at $40 a pop they are cheap.
 
I'm here, yo!!! :cool:

Here's the link to my hack job, minimalist cost project: http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/foru...gpul-700-Magazine-adapter-the-Dremel-Approach

I don't think I would want to do it again, but I've got this one stock and this will be IT for me. Well, all I needed was ONE rig for hunting (deer and coyotes and groundhogs). :)

I'm also running the MDT polymer mags for $40 from MDT in Chilliwack (they are a CGN board sponsor) and their online website is really easy to use and buy said .223 and .308 AICS pattern magazines. :cool:

Bring on the questions....

Cheers,

Barney
 
Brodie - you can't get better advice than these guys have given ˄˄˄˄˄˄˄˄˄˄.

(See what good guys we are here .....)
 
Haha I just finished up reading how you did that an it seems like that might be the way I would go. Something that I could do my self that would be fairly "easy" as long as I use the right tools. Is there anything you would have done differently or is there another stock that would have been better to do that with rather than the regular sps stock?
 
A 700p stock would be best. Solid stock, and it's fairly easy to work on. I actually have a 700p stock with a CDI inlet. Things awesome, but I'm not much of a mag fed guy.

YES it's something you could do yourself. See my tools in the picture? All sourced from Ukrainian Tire and Home Depot! Even the Milwaukee M12 hand drill! :) It's just that my camouflaged (dipped) factory SPS stock peels when the 'routing' tools cut into the plastic under layers. No big deal. Hey, that stock only cost me under $100 here on the EE Forum. Look at my pictures and see if you can live with the inletting spaces remaining. Lots of trial fitting back and forth. I just had to do it.... :cool:

It really was a fun project! :)

Cheers,
Barney
