I'm thinking of setting up a 223AI with Savage factory DBM and magazines (don't really need the capacity or length of the polymer 10rd AICS 223 magazine for this rifle), but I'd need to be able to feed loaded rounds up to 2.52" OAL for 90gr VLDs. I suspect the Savage factory 223 magazine won't accommodate that.

As such, anybody know if it would it be possible to remove the spacer on a centerfeed 223 magazine well and run it with a 308 follower...or simply 'tweak the lips' of a 308 magazine inward?

Any insight is appreciated!
