Dscussion: SSS's New Acme Universal magazine conversion

[kiwi 99]

Hi Savage guru's

when this unit comes out in .223 , would it drop into the H-S PSV 102 stock and fit a Savage model 12 with what appears to be 4.27 centres on the stock screws. NZ is a long way to order the wrong parts :-\

Bump

How long is the turn around on having them inlet a stock for the bottom metal now a days??

Do we have a mag capacity for the 223 version yet?

Still looking for an update ;D

Hey Fred,

Any word on how the magazines are holding up? Feeding and everything working as desired on production models in the field?

I'm looking really hard at a 12 LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor, and had been thinking about fitting it with a CDI mag kit for AI mags (dang things are bullet proof) but I thought if these Acme ones are holding up, I might give 'em a try...

Take care,

Monte

So far I hav'nt had any complaints about reliability or function. I have found that the follower springs are plenty strong enough and when I discussed this with Kevin Wyatt he stated that they were that way as to resist taking a set.
If I failed to mention this before, these are the same magazines that Les Baer uses on his new "Recon rifle".
I have noticed that the parkerized version of the magazines are a little fuzzy on the finish and a quick scrub with WD-40 and 0000 steel wool will slick them up quite well. I used a 5 rounder on a recent coyote hunt and emptied it twice on multple coyotes, with my biggest complaint of chasing Lapua brass in a snow storm.

The .223 version is scheduled to be available after the SHOT show. They will be 3/4" longer than the 5 rd .308 mag, but will hold 10 rounds.

What is the current wait time for a inlet and installation?

[memilanuk]

That does raise another question... how much actual inletting is required? For say something like one of the new 12 LRP (essentially the LRPV/DBM in an HS Precision stock)? Or is it essentially drop-in?

Whale sheet.... :-[
looks like they're only for short actions, both my 223& 308 are on long action chassis.

It is a drop in for anything that is currently set up for a DBM or HFP. The only ones needed inletting is for the stagger feed stocks.

[macon]

what about the model 12 204 with no mag, i believe its called blind mag
