40x mag question

[beenjammin]

For those of us waiting for a mag conversion. I have a question.

I put my barreled receiver into an AICs today and saw th the bottom of my 40x receiver is closed solid. The receiver would have to be machined to open it up on the bottom to allow a mag system to work. I dont know what I was thinking, but it is going to be a hell of alot more then just a mag that has feeding ramps built in. Are all 40x .22lr receivers like this?

Yes..I will be resuming this shortly(within a week). A slot will need to be cut into the receiver. it it easy to do.

oh CDI, please PM me when you are ready. I have a barreled action just waiting for this conversion. Just let me know, I can be your beta tester as well if you want.

Well, 99% are, there is a repeater, but for the cost, they are made of unobtainium. Pdog, what are you doing for the mags with your thoughts? Lots are speaking, none are doing.

Use a metal mag. Plastic won't do this conversion justice.

There is a 40X repeater. It was a sporter available from the custom shop like all the 40x 22. Every full moon when the stars are in alignment you will see one come up for sale.

They have a small hunting tube and cost around $4500.

Have a shooting buddy who passed on one 10 or so years ago for $800 because nobody was using the 40x at the time except benchrest shooters.

I tend to see more 40x rifles on benchrest.com or rimfirecentral

What I would like to know is if the new stiller 25x action will be a repeater and when it will be available.

Re: 40x mag question

Yes, the 25X will have a repeater. I think the single shot comes first. A few are already made. Production was going to be in October last I heard, but the deadline has slipped a number of times. I thought it was going to be $700, but it looks more like a little over $800. Maybe there will be a Stiller GB where we could get them for cheaper...

I have a 40X repeater (LH in 7.62NATO) and love it.

Can I drop that into a AICS without problems?
