Trying to find a 223 mag box for a model 11 GL, PART #105682.
Internal mag staggered feed.
Savage, midway, Numwich etc all out of stock.
Need one to continue with my grendel build.
Can get a 308 one to sort of work with the feed side of things but thought I would try the 223 box.
Any help would be appreciated.:p

The 223 box is blocked in the rear. The bolt should have an extended front baffle to make it all work together. I will keep my eyes open for a retailer that can help you.

Thanks, do you need the extended front baffle with the short action?

That is the way they came.

From searching for hours I have found that the extended baffle in 223/204 was for actions with the baffle groove on the right side of the action , my left hand 308 which I am converting to 6.5 Grendel has the baffle groove on the left side of the action.
The left hand 223/204 models had the Baffle groove on the right side so the conventional extended baffle could be used.
So I guess I will have grind it off to make it work.
I called savage and the guy said turn it around, I knew this wouldn't work and was not going to argue with him as I was calling international.
AS far as I can tell a extended baffle with a left groove was never made.
