surgeon 591 action chassis fit

[brianf]

got a good deal on surgeon short action...first one for me

was clicking around as we all do and it looks like some people have fit issues with some chassis

seems the bolt stop guard/bump touches the chassis

saw one pic of a MDT ACC elite and the guy said he had to relieve the chassis

i know an impact is a surgeon at its core and they have the same guard/bump but no issues from what i know


anyone have surgeon builds or fit issues with newer chassis...info in general


thanks

Fits into an AICS SR fine for me.

Had a Surgeon 591 that wouldn't fit into a Manners TCS because the Bolt stop guard interfered with the chassis. Takes a little bit of work with a dremel to make it fit. The impact fits fine in a TCS since the bolt stop guard is just slightly slimmer.

Interesting note... an Impact will fit perfectly into a stock that is Devcon bedded for a Surgeon and not require any adjustment. At least in my experience.

so you think the impact bolt stop is in the exact same position but the guard is slightly slimmer?

Yep. I sold my Surgeon about 6 months ago and dropped an Impact into the Surgeon inletted stock. The relief cut for bolt stop is just slightly larger for the surgeon than it would need to be for the Impact. I can take a pic tonight for you to see what I mean.

great thanks..

wonder if the actual bolt stop itself is thinner as well or maybe impact moved it "up"

2 birds 1 stone in their eyes

surgeon bilt stop is dead center in bolt lug cut

It looks like the bolt stop may be slightly above bolt Center, but the guard is definitely thinner as well.

That’s a pretty big difference.

Thanks for the pic
