Well bringing this back to life.
Ran into a problem and it's unfixable and kills this setup for me.
The mags work fine with factory ammo. The problem is the rifle will not feed with handloads at all.
The slight increase in case size on the resized cases makes the mag swell just enough that the rifle will not feed from the mags.
Got several loads worked out and can set the gas to lock the bolt back but nothing can get it to strip a second round if running handloads.
So guess I'm going to sell of the six8 recivers and mags. Don't want a rifle that can only run factory ammo.
