There is also an issue with the dimensions of the opening at the bottom of the action. This causes feeding issues that can't be solved unless specifically inletted for the Deadline. Like I said...it's not a plug and play action. Even though the mag catch issue may be simple, modifications still have to be made.
Looks like no one told my aics, w3, or manners mini chassis about this feeding problem. Rear screw length, properly designed v block bedding, trigger hanger clearance, and maybe adjustment to mag release length. Any other issue is chassis fault, not action.
If you say so, chief. I'm not knocking the action, it's awesome. But it's marketed as a R700 clone and there are just enough differences to frustrate someone looking for the easy button and wants plug and play.
Again, I disagree. The action is cut for detachable bottom metals...that's it. There's no magic to that. Same as @6brshooter said, it fits and works with standard 700 footprint chassis, MDT being the exception, and they identified/resolved the issue on their end.
6br/bra/dasher can have that problem in any push feed spring ejector action. I've had to trim ejector springs in rem700 for 6br.
Mine will not let aics mags lock in with it's current configuration. I would have to take some off the mag catch if I wanted to use them. But it runs AW so good the only think I am missing is the ability to run mags over 10 rounds.
I’m keen to see your 12 round mod for the AW mags if you’re willing to divulge!
