BAT Bumblebee action magazine cutout question

[WSnyder]

Will the BAT Bumblebee action accommodate commonly available AICS magazine type bottom metal with AICS magazines without the blinder plate (or Curtis or Hawkins short mag magazines) without the bullet tip hitting the bottom of the feed ramp? Meaning: Is the feed ramp on the Bumblebee moved forward from Rem 700's and clones to clear the bullet tip in an AICS magazine without the blinder plate (or Curtis or Hawkins short mag magazines)? Rem 700's need a notch ~.100" in the feed ramp to clear the bullet tip in that magazine bottom metal combination.

Thank you!

BAT says it does not come standard with a cut to accommodate this but it can be requested when ordering an action. So yes it can be ordered to work with AICS bottom metal and magazines without the blinder plate and also the Curtis, Hawkins short mag magazines..

You beat me to it I just got the reply myself. Even if you forget to order at that way it's about 2 minutes on the milling machine to fix it

Yes sir, I can handle it myself easy (I've done it to many actions). On one this expensive, and new I want BAT to do it so there are no issues or questions about it down the road.

Dont blame you. I think you will find it to be the slickest action you have ever run. Even better than a full nitrated steel action.

If you guys are interested in this thing for BR I do hope you email BAT and tell them. Im trying but not getting it done. I just know it will be a step in the right direction for aggs.
