Badger M5 + McM Stock Fit Question

[silver78]

A couple of years ago I bought a Badger M5 BDM System, Short Action P/N 306-82 and a McM stock that was made to match the Badger M5 product. The original plan was to put them both on a Remington 5r 308 cal rifle. Later I decided to sell the 5r. So now I am deciding if I should keep the Badger + McM for a different rifle or just sell them.

I have a 700 short action with a 223 Lilja heavy barrel installed and if things will swap over I would just put them on this rifle instead. But I'm not sure it's this simple.

Based on a review of Badgers website it looks like the M5 model I bought for the 308 is not ideal for a 223 and they have a different product for 223 owners - the part number is 306-89.

My question is this:

If I sell my 306-82 (308 cal) M5 and buy a 306-89 (223 cal) from Badger will the 223 model fit in the McM stock?

Your assistance is appreciated. Thanks.

To my knowledge, the difference between the two is the magazine. Buy a couple of the .223 mags and shoot.

Call Badger and talk to them. They will tell you where the differences are, and help you decide what you need to do.

As long as they are both for a short action which they are, all you need is a new magazine. I have an M5 on both calibers you are refering and can confirm this.

The 223 mags are plastic as to the metal for the 308, go on Triads web, i'm sure he has them.
