Not beyond what it came as. Its possible (and frankly most likely) that torqueing them down was a step I was supposed to take. 'Doh!Did you torque the base screws down before mounting to optic?
What are your initial impressions? How's the bolt lift? Excessive? Is cock on close present? Trigger times up pretty well? Curiou6if you can compare it to other budget actions like the origin, tenacity, or atlas?Finally got my manners stock in, put the rifle together and tested the first 5 shots with the smith who put it together. Performed awesome, just a little heavier than I thought it would come out to. I suppose that means time to build another and move the razor over and put a lighter optic on this rifle. I did want to note after the first few shots the base that came with it loosened up a bit. May be worth using some blue Loctite and re-torque them before you go out and use it.View attachment 7737556
Nosler has them making a variation for em.I read somewhere a manufacture is using Mack bros actions on their rifles this might be the reason they're behind ?
Anyone gotten one of their .223 actions that were due in November? Anxiously waiting..........................
Thank you.No they had an update in Instagram stating they’re expecting actions to be in stock sometime in December
So would the Nosler 21 fit into any rem 700 chassis?Yep. The Nosler Model 21 uses a modified EVO action from the Mack’s. Basically the EVO with an extended mag well and port opening as well as different flutes on the bolt and facets on the shroud to mimic the Nosler 48 action.
That's nice. From what I understand the M48 action is different.Absolutely!! The M21 is a Remington 700 footprint both long and short.
I put mine in a 1st gen XLR Envy, and I did have to use a dremel to make room for the hanger. Actually had to remove a lot more material than I expected. Plenty of material left on the chassis, just wish I found someone with a mini mill or something to make it a lil prettier. If it was a more expensive chassis, I'd have taken it to someone to get done rightGuys, the action has a trigger hanger, is this a problem in a chassis? I have used impact/kelbly actions and its usually necessary to make a relief cut for the hanger.
I experienced the same with my First Gen XLR Envy. I made the relief cut with an end mill in my drill press running the spindle at a high speed. It worked out good for me, YMMV. I’ll need to make the same cut in a Begara HMR stock I’m using for another build.

you could call or email them. they are very responsiveI've got my 24" bartlein #4 carbon 6mm barrel, Hawkins hunter dbm, and I placed my order yesterday for a Mesa Precision altitude stock. Is there a particular action inlet that will match the Evo ejection port, say a kelbly atlas, or tl3?
Yes I did that straight away. Their response was manners inlets for the Evo. So I hit up manners and asked what rem700 close has closest inlet to the Evo, their response was the Evo has its own unique inlet. I was like F it! I'll get get it inlet for a kelbly atlas, maybe they'll cut the hanger relief for me, who knows. I wish there were more helpful knowledge forward people in this game that really wanted to help a guy out, vs buy from me at manners I have an inlet, oh but were backlogged 12 months.you could call or email them. they are very responsive
Looks awesome!!!@bbhank finally got the EVO I got from ya built! 6mm Dasher Criterion barrel. Shoots like a dream at 100yds, can't wait to do some load development and take it farther out. Using Alpha brass, Barnes 105s, and H4350. View attachment 7748037View attachment 7748039
I sure many of you have probably received this email, but Mac bros sent me this product update today. I've been on the waiting list since August I believe. Bit of a bummer. Demand for the Nosler rifles and supressors must be higher than they planned.
According to the website, they do not offer the .223 bolt faceI’m skipping 12 pages so forgive me I am slammed with work.
I was looking at doing a budget .223 and the $600 mark is pretty awesome. Since the actions have been out are there any issues/concerns ?
The only info I saw online was on another forum about barrel fit and .223 bolt face not out yet.
If somebody could give me the Cliff notes I’d appreciate it. I need to buy another Origin or see if this Mack Bros is a better fit. Thanks
Also is this the same company that did some billet AR receivers for Spikes.
I have a matched upper/lower that is a spikes Mack Bros and the craftsmanship is excellent.
They are offering it on next batch. I had a 223 bolt face on this next run, however I built a 22br as I got tired of waiting.According to the website, they do not offer the .223 bolt face
I have a couple of these actions sporting Kriegers with 223 Wylde chambers.Since the actions have been out are there any issues/concerns ?

Guy can pour a follower.
. View attachment 7730601Full disclosure that’s a predator with the rails cut out not an evo but same same as pouring followers go.
Or put one in the mag lol.
Terry,I have a couple of these actions sporting Kriegers with 223 Wylde chambers.
i believe it has been posted in this thread that the new ones should accept prefitsTerry,
Assuming I know the answer, but would rather ask your input as someone I trust.
Based on your experience with these, do these hold tight enough tolerances where prefits will be pretty widely available once more get out in the wild?
Ya someone brought it up!i believe it has been posted in this thread that the new ones should accept prefits
I could be wrong but it was the bolt lug dimension that was changed not the tenonI must have gotten lost in all the pages. I remember the tenon being changed, but missed that part. Thanks fellas.
This is why I ask those who have hands on experience. Regardless of my misreadings, I appreciate any help you guys have to offer.
Yes, bolt lug was shortened. I just assembled one with a Criterion Remage barrel and did not need to trim the bolt or barrel to headspace.I
