Short vs long action Question

[freak007]

Use a 204/223 extended front bolt baffle and the bolt throw will only be 1/4" longer than a short action.

I don't want to hijack, but is there a thread with more details (pics?) on this?

I've got a 223AI built on a long action, and use the extended bolt baffle.



I measured the bolt throw length of my 223AI with my 10FP that wears a 260 barrel, and the long action with extended baffle was only 1/4" longer than the 10FP bolt throw.

I can get more pictures if you'd like...

The extended baffle only works if you have a cartridge block in the mag.
Otherwise the bolt won't go back far enough to pick up a cartridge.
