I submit it will come down to personal preference of how much chin weld you need when using the red dot with a higher chin weld being required if the optic is higher and said higher chin weld possibly effecting recoil management.
I use accurate mags for both the 223 and wsm/saum conversions
This is my plan as well. The wsm will be a winter project as I’m so busy right now and will be until December. I still have to finish testing the 260 rem barrel and get loads for that.
So, this is used for two purposes: close rapid engagements that just "have to hit" a man sized target, or more importantly and for our purposes, simply for rapid indexing of the target.
My bolt is originally from trophyhunter and my barrel is from spr but yes it feeds fine from the 7rd. Haven’t tried smaller ones.
Question for those of you who have chopped barrels…
I’m thinking of either hacking down my AXSR’s 24” 308 barrel down to 14.5 or 16 -OR- buying a proof SS prefit 308 and having it cut to either 14.5 or 16.
If I do 14.5, I’ll obviously have to do the pin/weld of the brake…which I would want timed. I don’t want to send off the rifle so do you think a black marker indicating the timing for the smith would suffice?
Or do ya think that 16 is just better for the lack of hassle and ease of cleaning the crown?
And I’ll obviously 5axis dremel my forend down to let it fit.

Who did your profiling? I assume collarless?
I sent it off to Allegheny Arms and went collarless. I think turn around was 1...1.5 weeks? He did a phenomenal job and even cloned the proof serial and markings onto the barrel where it's covered by the can. Sorry about the crap picture....my phone kinda sucks and I pulled it off my instagram since the weather isn't great right now
I’m gonna have to live vicariously through you until I can get a replacement
I’ve been saying the same thing for years. Maybe someone will offer me a salty post 14 AX with the 13” hand guard for my PVS 26. I’d even settle with a yucky PB one
Don’t forget the $900 S&B too broI’ve been saying the same thing for years. Maybe someone will offer me a salty post 14 AX with the 13” hand guard for my PVS 26. I’d even settle with a yucky PB one
I recently bought a 2011 AW from a local guy getting out of the game.
Low mileage MSA 260 barrel, AI brake and Seekins rings.
Now to get rid of the terrible Viper skins and track down some original thumbhole skins. Right now it is looking like skins are going to be hard to find.
I am thinking this will end up being a short barrel 308 with a Covert Suppressor.
.......The video is on MBE Ballistic Solutions website. Mike Barrat, UK is the manufacturer. I would think he did the conversion.
