Well now whom ever put this one together then has the plug at the front of the magwell. I will have to see if it will come out and put it in the rear. Right now you really have to make sure the bolt is all the way back to get it to pick up a round.
You can use the Mark X one;

but it won't give you much infos on the plug. It may or may not have been put in the front at factory, I can't say. But I am looking at what was brand new, unfired '80s era one and the plug is for sure at the rear.

My Charles Daly by Zastava that was originally chambered in .243 Win had a spacer in the rear of the mag well. FWIW, Israeli conversions of K98k's to 7.65x51 had the spacer in the front so either way could work as long as the feed rails are correctly machined.
Personally I can't stand short action cartridges in a long action and that's why I never even fired my Charles Daly as a .243 Win and promptly had it rechambered to .243-06AI.

6mm-06 sounds interestingHows it shoot?
It's actually a 6mm-06 Ackley Improved which is really overkill but Epps had the reamer and the price was right on the work so that's the way I went.
I really haven't shot it a whole lot or developed any serious loads yet. It's supposed to be my antelope gun but I've had no luck in the draws and with the huge population loss over the last couple winters, it doesn't look like I'll be using it any time soon for that purpose.
Any way, I've been using 6mm Weatherby max loads as a starting point and only going up 2 grains from there. Loads are pretty mild but easily shoot 1" or less with nothing more than a bedding job done by myself. So far I've been using 100gr Hornady's but my hunting load will consist of 85gr TSX's. Maybe this summer I'll play with it some more and get a load worked up. Would be great on deer as well so it may see some use this fall.
