I had to open up the recoil lug area of the XLR stock for the thicker tubbs lug,and make a slot in the hand guard to allow the hand guard to slide off straight.
Minor tuning of the magazines to get them to feed 100 %. The 223 is plastic , I had to use a file to widen the lips just a little, I was getting a occasional bolt over ride. The 308 box is metal and I had to bend the lips up just a little to get the rounds a little higher due to the rebated rim of the socom.
The 223 PTG bolt with a sako extractor ejects both loaded and fired round perfect. I had trimed the ejector spring in the 260 bolt when I was shooting compation, so it would not eject, I did not want to dent the case mouths. I think I will be ok once I get some new parts.
To change barrel
all I need to do is loosen six allen head bolts, slide the hand guard off, unscrew the barrel , reinstall the other barrel, slip the hand guard on and tighten the 6 allen head bolts. Slip in the correct bolt and magazine. Each barrel will have it's own optic in quick release rings or base.
The 300 will be my real quite shoot them in the head garden gun, the 458 socom will be the bust them hard at any angle choice. I am wating for a SAS ti arbatrator for the 300 and and a SBR can for the 458 socom. I am told that the 458 will quite down quite a bit, but do not expect it to be as quite as the blk out.
I will glue in the recoil lug and glass bed the action to day, Once i am happy with everything I will epoxy the action in place. I will try to post some photo's soon.
