You will need the mag and follower as the followers are specific to each mag as they have notches in the sides to match the dimples in the magazine boxes.

Roger that
I just had this same exact issue when I screwed my .284 Win barrel onto a short action 110 and feeding from a .308 magazine. The back tab on the mag housings angles towards the rear a little at the top, allowing the top round(s) to sit further back. As a result, they sit back further than the bolt can reach to get behind the case head so when you go to chamber a round it slides over for 1/2" or so then catches on the body of the case and pushes it forward ultimately resulting in a jam. Was also gouging the heck out of my brass.
Took it out to Fred and had him examine it and determined the easiest solution was to simply grind some thickness off the back side of the front baffle on the right side that acts as the bolt stop on the sear to allow the bolt to come back a little further. Didn't need to take much off, roughly 3/32" to get it feeding properly and reliably.

Time to shape the forend andthings are about to get rough
Oh my god so stressfull. Only rough shapped and a lot more to go. I was forced to make a decision that I've beennthinking about doing anyways. The white dot in the middle of rhe rosewood is a dowel and thats where I will now be putting a quick detach cup for a sling.
Looking good.
Is it just me, or does the left side of the forearm look a little thicker (wider) than the right side in the second to last photo. Maybe it's just the angle or lighting/shadow making it appear that way.

It is. I was too freaked out with the belt sander and decised to hang it up for the night and come back with hand tools that I'm more familiar with
Its not necessarily thicker just one side is rounded more I think.
Well did a lot of work today and its starting to take better shape! At least I think. My girlfriend liked the blunt end the way it was before but oh well its my gun not hers.
Looking good! I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Thank you. Its definitely a different kind of accomplishment to make a completely custom build on my own than just putting together the run of the mill parts gun AR
Got some important parts I today. I don't think I'll put then in today but maybe this weekend.
I ended up using 1 of the pillars to make both. This wasn't too hard as long as you have a belt sander, micrometer and a dremel. I did try to drill the holes 1 size at a time but it broke away the wood. This sucks but since I'll be using jb weld I think it'll be ok.
Notching the pillars to fit the action kinda sucked but oh well.
A long over due update.

Very cool. Would love to se some up close photos now that it is 95% complete.
Still more shaping to do on the for end then a light 600grit sanding to the whole thing then lacquer it. I will be installing QD swivel mounts as well. 1 in the forest where you can see the dowel that holds the rosewood and not sure where in the butt yet.
The pictures can't show the chatoyance but soon enough is going to look awesome!
I do want to get lower rings as well but I'm super excited to get this going.

Great job. It must feel great to have it done.
Oh it's not done. I still have to finish the final shaping on the for end and then speedy the lacquer then install QD cups THEN it'll be done except I want to get a scope with a lighted reticle for night hunting
