Gunsmithing WIlliams "old style" bottom metal and the .223

[chucknelson]

Does anyone run a .223 with the old style Williams bottom metal? Just wondering if the short follower spring fits without issue.

Thanks.

i ran one like that for a while. you will need a .223 mag box and follower. for heavy bullets, you may want to modify the .223 mag box, but i had no issues. everything fit like a glove.

The box, spring, follower and mods are al in place. Just wondering if they'll mesh with the bottom metal. Thanks for the info.
