From my dealer to me. My last few dealer to me transfers (Form 4), and my most recent Form 1 have all be right about 5 months from when the check was cashed.
I have a 300 WM X-Ray 66 chambered for 190 grain FGMM and I'm wondering what other MFG's ammo it will chamber. This stuff is impossible to find anymore, and I really don't want to purchase multiple boxes of ammo that won't chamber...
Anyone else on here have a 300 WM they are running other brands/weights of ammo in without any problems?

I’d also be curious what other types of factory ammo does the job in .308 if any besides FGMM ?
Got to cut the rest of my case for my tango. Now I should get to dial it in next weekend I hope if I can catch some time off stay tuned

I did some cutting for the foam for my Lima to support the can, bipod, magazines (it was originally a blind magazine) and added LOP spacers. This was at the UPS depot as I was packing it up and sending it to Mike for some fixing of my f-up on the DBM and install the Geissele 2-stage trigger. He said not to send the scope since he would have to un-mount it to Birdsong the rings anyway. Looking forward to her return.
Since I no longer have either of my Tangos, replaced by the M40A1, I have a cool paperweight and pic rail accessory listed in the marketplace in case anyone is interested.
Completely different inlet. You would have to talk to Mike about it. He would end up doing a new inlet, new Birdsong to make the DBM match the rest of the rifle, re-paint the stock. May be easier/cheaper to have him do a whole new stock but in the end, it's probably even easier and/or cheaper to sell the current rifle and get one with a DBM.
DO NOT do what I did and have someone else install one. You'll end up sending it to Mike to make it right anyway.
Mainly due to using a Surgeon Action with Surgeon bottom metal

@ TacOps1...Got the call today on my TacOps can from my dealer. 5 months and a few days from when the check was cashed to can and stamp in hand.
The standard bottom metal is a BDL, but a modified Surgeon DBM is an option at additional cost.at the time of initial order.
As NukeMMC said, the DBM takes a completely different inlet. Mike WILL NOT REDO AN INLET, which leaves you two (2) options:
(1) Have Mike order a new stock for you with the proper inlet (on stocks with an adjustable cheekpiece option, make sure he gets you the KMW Inlet)! The KMW ACH will add expense and a few more weeks time to send to Joe Ducos to install the KMW ACH but it's well worth the time, expense, and effort! You're already paying for the DBM so you might as well spend a few hundred more to get it perfect. The KMW IS SO MUCH NICER than any of the McMillan cheekpieces.
(2) Order a new rifle from Mike with the proper DBM inlet (again, (make sure Mike gets you the KMW Inlet when available).
Below is a Kilo 51 that originally had a Williams Floorplate. The owner later decided he wanted a DBM, so a new A3-5 with Surgeon DBM Inlet was ordered, as well as with the KMW ACH Inlet.

The bottom metal is Tac Ops OD, just like the rest of the metal. The angle of the sunlight tricked the camera's sensor into changing the Birdsong's color.

X-Ray 51 in 308 inbound to an awesome LEO Gent who is on this thread...

No, bought it new along with a can. But it was before I found the Hide, so I didn't know the test target was a thing to have. Doesn't matter to me. I'm not going to sell it, and it shoots for me as well as it shoots for me, no matter how it shoots for Mike.
That's not a number. I will measure mine, I guess. I switched scopes a while back and was wondering.
Well, either I tossed it not knowing it was important, the ffl tossed it not knowing it was important, or it didn't. At the time I didn't know they did, and I've never bothered to ask Mike about it because in my life whether he shot a .05, a .1 or whatever doesn't matter to me.
Three (3) X-Ray 51's leaving today from guys in this thread...

What always makes me laugh is that MikeR is a perfectionist, which is seen in the quality of his rifles.
Yet the cardboard target is never a perfect square/rectangle.
??????? lol
