Want to Mod 6br to feed from Rem 700 SA

[pertnear]

I had my Rem 700 ADL SA rebarrelled to get into the 6BR magic. I was not disappointed - it shoots great with just about any load if I stay in ~65gr bullet range (barrel is 1:14"). This is a varmint hunting rifle so I wish it would feed a second round or two. Looking at past posts here I found some references to Mike Bryant's modifications. Does any know where I can get his instructions? BTW: my rifle extracts & ejects perfectly.

TIA for any info...

Dang, it was right in front of me all the time on the site! I must be very bad with the search function...

I can feed a second round by placing the round as forward in the magazine as possible. 3 rd round is no go but one quick backup helps

You might also take a look at the MDT magazines.

This is the magazine I use in 2 6BR's. They work well.

My rifle is an ADL with a blind magazine well. I think the MDT must be for changeable magazine rifles?

I've got 2 Remington 700's BDL's in 22 BR that have the Mike Bryant modification - both feed & function like a factory round. Works great.

A 3D printer and the ability to customize the program could probably make a decent internal magazine.

Have an extra one of these that I’m no longer using as I’m down to one 6 BR.

If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM.

I did the Bryant thing to my 700 SA 6 Br. yes it works.
I got a tip from a Member here.
The Follower Spring location in the Follower not all the way in. You need to try different location til it feeds well ? Then a little JB or Bedding Compound to keep it in place.

I found all the New Parts Box,Spring and Follower on line.

The MDT mag is the best. This is the only mag I have used with my 6br and it has performed flawlessly.

I got tired of screwing around with fixes, and went 24", 6 XC on a slow 14 twist. 65s at 3800 and 70s at 3740 does not suck shooting dot size groups with a .030 freebore reamer, tubb brass, federal 210s, AA2230.

Next time around, give it some thought, and no screwing around trying to get it to feed like a dream.

I hope and pray that the MDT mags work for you because the bryant fix is a hit and miss, and will cost you some coyotes.

This is correct, mine gets funny if the spring gets out of position, otherwise it feeds fine.
