Will a long action Staggered feed go into a center feed stock and feed from a center feed mag? I don't see why it wouldn't feed but curious about fit.

Those are short action measurements. He asked about long action.Quote:

Here's a picture of a stagger feed in a center feed DBM stock.

Thanks geargrinder, that covers it. Is that a personal rifle of yours?
Your welcome.Quote:

On a center feed magazine there is a little tab that sticks up and catches on the DBM part that I have circled. The action needs to be removed in that area for clearance. That tab is there if your center feed is DBM or blind.
A friend of mine has a stagger feed DBM rifle and likes DBM but hates the Tupperware. I have a center feed DBM... just trying to figure out what we can do.
