Milled an extra .2" in the bottom of the action and extended the mag. Waiting on a .040 cutter to come in for the mag box groove. Pics will be up soon.

Sorry for the image quality. They were taken from my phone.
Both rounds are 3.6'' coal.

I did the same thing when I built my Edge and I also shortened the right side of the front baffle for more bolt travel. I carefully re-cut the slot for the magazine box with a Dremel cut off disc. I then cut two magazines and TIG welded them back together to make a box .250" longer than the factory RUM magazine. I also milled a new longer follower out of aluminum. The reworked action and mag will handle 4" long rounds.
