Thinking of building a "tactical" rifle

Pull off the staggerfeed box, and it can feed from a different mag system. May need minimum tweaking.

Look up tube gun chassis on the web. I played around with the idea of making my own too.

Get that aluminum tube, drill and cut, and tap it for a grip, put on a butt pad, and you are on your way. Drill or machine out the tube like it were an AR handguard. Tap it for picatiny rails.

Braze together the magwell to accept AI mags.

At least, that is what I dreamt up on my napkin doodles...

I have tried this using mini 14 mags with 223 rounds, and still might get that done. Some tweaking still to be done. Having 5, 10, or 20 rounds of 223 available with a bolt gun would be fun at times. Plus the ability to swap mags for more.
