Calling Al in Mi, or .45 Raptor Bolt Guys In General
Posted: Sat Dec 07, 2019 11:28 pm
My dad jumped on a sale Satern had a while back and got a .45 Raptor barrel for a Savage. A few weeks later, he scored a rough looking Savage .308 rifle from a pawn shop that would provide the action. MDT had a smoking deal on LSS chassis last week so we ordered one. The MDT LSS works with either a stagger feed or center feed Savage action (the only difference being the screw pattern apparently) and uses Accuracy International patterned magazines. I am familiar with the MDT LSS and Magpul AICS mags as I have a Savage FCP-SR in .308 that I dropped into one.
I was wondering if the Accuracy International mags would need to be modified like the AR-10 mags to perform in a bolt action. He and I both have AR-10's in .45 raptor so we both own modified mags for that purpose. We both handload for our Raptors and I recommended right off the bat that he stick with the Barnes 200 gr designed for the 460 S&W due to it's profile. I have seen the Youtube videos on modifying mags for the AR-10 as well but haven't looked recently to see if that mod would work on an AI mag.
I just wanted to see what your experiences were with bolt action Raptors if they are mag fed.
