Thanks for the supportive comments! I'd signed up on AKfiles ages ago to post about the project and I forgot about it while I was waiting for my...
On the last outing with the rifle the cobbled together magazine well broke and I got distracted with other things for a while. Now I've 3d printed...
That's the million dollar question. I'll find out as soon as I can find time to get to a range.
I didn't really get as many photos of the project as I should have, but here's what I do have. This is the demilled parts kit and receiver:...
Not quite 11 years ago I started kicking around an idea. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/ak-in-6-5-grendel-w-ar-magwell.353318/...

Yep, but fixed and non-removable in this case. That's why I wanted to have the ability to use strippers.
Thanks! I don't think it could be milled into the rear ring and still line up with the back edge of the magazine. I could move the magazine back...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Now I need to get some stripper clips and see if it works :o If it works, I'll duplicate it in steel....

Ha! I had seen that picture in a google image search before I started. Thank you very much for showing what could be done and providing inspiration!
Good question. I have no idea how it shoots yet. It should group well with the shorter (stiffer) barrel and fresh crown, but I'm guessing that...
A friend of mine has a late numbered and pretty rough Fazakerly Enfield No.4 mk1 that he loves, but wanted it to be a little lighter and faster...
Nate, you haven't been forthcoming with any public retractions or apologies and are still making efforts to hide what you've done instead of just...
