Had to use a .308 mag well (cause larger case dia.) and fabricated a piece of metal to shorten up the length. Used the .223 follower and opened up the feed ramps slightly to get consistent and reliable feeding.
PM me sometime and I will text or email you some pictures.
Because I was looking for a build that did not need any custom work done, all these parts are plug and play, that if you can turn wrenchÂ’s you could build this and not need a gunsmith, and the quality difference in the Origin vs Remington is worth the money, and being able the buy factory bolt faces vs having to permanently alter a bolt, that versatility is worth something as well IMO.
