I just finished swapping stocks on a build I did some time ago on a 12fv .223. It’s now a 6CM with a 20in xcaliber 1:7 5R barrel. Great shooting rifle! This was my second 6CM build as the first is wearing a 26” MTU criterion barrel in an oryx chassis. I wanted one for hunting so I built the shorty. I now have a B&C comp stock on it using AICS mags using the accurate mag DBM. I originally had a modified B&C tactical medalist running the blind mag. Worked great, but really wanted mags and didn’t want a chassis on this one. The stock I replaced is also in the pic.
I want to say I found the internal mag for my build on eBay. May also look at gun shack for bolt heads etc.
As far as caliber recommendations, I may be biased, but I would take a look at the 6CM. With a 1:8 you would be able to shoot everything from the light varminting rounds all the way up to probably the 110s. I don’t think you would be able to stabilize 115s. An added bonus, in my neck of the woods, it’s nearly the only factory ammo on the shelf! It will also be easier to source bullets for hand-loading, if you go that route. With everyone grabbing up anything in .224 diameter they can get their hands on, this may also be something to consider. Which ever way you go, good luck and have fun!
