Is there room on the rear of the receiver? I recently got a Frontier in .308 Win and was hoping I would have the option of loading it with 5 round clips.
In looking at it, I am a little let down, because it appears that it won't work.
The OAL of the rounds is too long to have a clip holder attached to the top of the receiver. No big deal, but it seems to me that the extractor would not allow a clip to function properly if a slot were machined into the receiver.
If anyone knows more about this than I do, please help. I have a schematic for slotting a Rem 700 action, which I believe has the right dimensions. It needs to be just under .25" as I recall. I can upload it if smiths/machinists can use it to help.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I still love the way this rifle feels, clips or not. I have only had it about 5 hours now, and hope to shoot it this weekend sometime.
