Question about prepping sks magwell for the adapter - metal removal

[ShotgunNut]

I haven't been able to find an install video on this. Im looking at the first picture in the picture tutorial and its hard to tell how much metal has been removed from the slope below the chamber. A picture from the top after the finished work would help. Do you take the metal right down to the outer surface of the chamber?

This was not done for Hi Calibers adaptor.

But should be pretty close

Hope it helps you

 

[ShotgunNut]

Thanks but nope. In your pictures it looks like you haven't even touched the part I'm talking about. Cheers for the effort though

Look down at the chamber through the top. That little sloped section just below the chamber. I dont know what its called it looks like a ramp of some sort. I need to know how much of that to take off if Im going to buy the adapter.

about 1/2 the bevel.

The bevel, thats what you call it! Thanks Dave!

Test fit lots.

It is easier to remove more metal than to put any back

I just recently did this install, I did a lot of test fitting and reading their instruction manual very carefully. I found dremeling the bevel down to a square worked great. Basically what I did was put the mag adapter ontop on the gun body lock it in place and marked my cuts with a sharpie.. Btw I killed my dremel doing this so I suggest using a 1/4 inch die grinder with a tungsten carbide bit.

I milled mine just about flush without actually touching the face of the barrel. here's a couple of pics.
(can anyone explain why my rifles always look dirtier in pictures ?? )

And for the bolt hold open I plunged a 3/8 end mill in deepening the existing cutout by about an 1/8" .....

I took my rifle out for a test drive yesterday, and it worked like a charm ! Over 200 rounds - zero stoppages !!

Very happy, a well made product !

I was actually able to keep my feedramp intact when I did the Texas adapter on mine. The hical one has different geometry maybe?

Good job on the pics!
Your guns look dirtier in pics because your camera's to awesome, easy fix... get a less awesome camera.

Our adapters have been designed to use unmodified AR mags, as per the Canadian laws. The USA style is different because it was designed to use modified AR mags because they can. Our design always worked well, but now with our Gen 2 version, we have an adapter that is easier to fit & runs flawlessly!
