Model 110 LA .223 in ORYX chassis.

[NF1E]

I recently posted about a 110 long action .223 I installed in an ORYX chassis. Have been single loading and could not find a LA mag for the .223. Dave suggested trying a larger caliber mag and making a conversion. Well, managed to find a steel 30-06 AICS mag and fitted it to my rifle by nipping 5/8" off the rear of the feed lips so it would lock into the ORYX with a double feed 110 receiver without reworking the receiver. Works great after reshaping and polishing the feed lips. Bubba strikes again, but at least it works and I can load more in the mag should I desire. Whatta Hobby!
