    Fred, will these feed an AI round also?

    And do you plan to make in the future to match the SS hardware?

    The internal length of the magazines are 2.925". Ackley improved catridges feed with no problems. To match stainless steel hardware the bottom metal can be left uncoated, but the latch will still be black.
    I have plenty of drop in units at this time, but I can't schedule inletting until mid July.

    The long action magazines are about 2 weeks away from being in my hands. It will take some time to engineer the the magazine frames, so realisticly because of my schedule, it won't happen until sometime in august. Meanwhile, anybody interested in long action conversions, I will take orders.
    The .223 version is still in R&D.

    The magazines look like AICS magazines or their clones. I know of a brand called Accurate, C-Products just came out with them, and there's a third domestic clone brand whose name escapes me. The C-Prod magazine is still new but the other two brands have a great reputation.

    If so that's a great deal for a drop in conversion. I have a Rem clone in a Manners stock with the bottom metal that takes AICS mags and have been wanting to share mags with my Savage centerfeed. Before this you were looking at $210 plus inletting for bottom metal from CDI Precison.

    Will the 223 version use the same bottom metal?

    Will it also use proprietary mags or will it use the AICS 223 mags?

    If the mags are proprietary will they be higher capacity - say 15-20 rounds?

    Ready to get one on order for my 10PC

    The only part holding things up are the springs and followers, and I expect to have some magazines in a month.
    Bad news on the long action version....looks like it ain't gonna happen. The magazines are too long for the frame and would take too much modification to facilitate making them work.

    Can we "Pre-Order" the 223 Version? I have the DBM Stock already, so I just need all the parts and I am set.

    Also, do we know the mag capacity for the 223 Version yet?

    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 :-\

    Re: Dscussion: SSS's New Acme Universal magazine conversion

    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

    Re: Dscussion: SSS's New Acme Universal magazine conversion

    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.

    Re: Dscussion: SSS's New Acme Universal magazine conversion

    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?
