6br repeater with DBM

[fredjake]

Wondering if anyone has built a repeater with DBM. thinking of building a 10 or 12 twist 6br hunting rifle. All input would be helpful.

There are a few options: use your google-fu. The option that worked best for me was a modified AICS 223 REM magazine. About 10 minutes with a file and you have a flawless 6BR magazine.

Chamber in 6 dasher and you can use a 308 AI mag.

I have 2) 6Br's that are repeaters both have coned bolts. And use AI 308 mags that i have modified. I run the 105 hybrid also have used 80 gr Berger's. They feed flawless. Only mag mod is a shim in the front of the mag about .375 thick and cut some off the follower. Send me your email and i will send pics if you would like.

HS Precision bottom metal with 22-250 or 308 magazines feed BRXs like corn through a goose. Easy to set up with HS factory stock. They will not drop into a HS-made Remington take off. They are spendy but also 100% reliable.

Could you post pic's here so we can all see? Am thinking the Dasher would make an outstanding bean-field and antelope rifle.

Not sure how to post pics. But I can send it to you if you would be so kind to post. Over 6000 rnd thru 2 different rifles set up this way and they have worked flawless. Not the only way to skin a cat. That is what is nice about this site a bunch of great info.

Be happy to post your pic's once I return home on the 15th. Not sure how I can do with the 'smart' phone (too smart for me ).

I am posting these for Bert





This is how i held the shim in a simple pop rivet. The hole for the rivet is not thru so a bullet tip does catch the hole.

I think it's actually easier than with a computer. Just download the photobucket app. You can upload either pictures from your library or it'll let you take them right there. Then just copy the image code and paste.

 

[Bert]

Hoier thanks . And guys I am sure there is a better way to pull this off. But bottom line this is an easy mod and it works.

 

[T 700]

what kind of mag is this?

Thanks T 700

 

[Bert]

AI is all I have used. Not sure the brand that another guy was going to use but spring was too long to allow the shim to be used. The shim is 3/8 thick I couldn't make it any thicker without it hitting the spring.

I'll second the HS precision bottom metal, it works flawlessly. If you use a Remington, you might also need a sako extractor installed.

I have one built by McWorther rifles with Stiller action thats feeds perfectly that I am thinking of selling. Bought it and never use it do to my work and travels. To nice of a rifle to just sit in the safe.

It is set up as a hunting type rifle and has a 10x60 March scope on it which makes a perfect setup.

I have a short movie clip showing it being load and unloaded. Any one interested in posting it for others to see please send me your email. I am not computer savey enough to do it
