By using the correctly designed and included bottom metal you are also saving the 300-350 bucks you'd spend on custom bottom metal. You save the money you will spend to have a custom extractor installed and the BF opened up by just buying the right donor from the start. By going that route, you also have the correct BF to start off with. And the only place I've ever seen it is on a factory chambered 6.8 SPC. Placed forward or aft, it would jam if not cycled very hard and fast.īut, IMHO, to do it right, you really need 6.8 SPC bottom metal. I know there are several people on these forums that got a 6BR to feed in a AI mag without modifying it. Even if they are not modified, you are still facing a reliability issues as that case was not the intended round that the mag was designed for. And then there is always the reliability factor when modifying an original design. But inevitably it should have to be modified, at least the feed lips as the 6.8 SPC has a smaller case diameter than the 308. I won't say that one can't be modified (or not modified as fdkay says) to house and feed the 6.8 SPC. They have taken 6BR in 308 mags, 6BR in 223 mags, 7WSM, 6.5-284, and 30-06 in 300WM mags, and 378Weatherby class and RUM class cases in the 338 Mags. Yes, AI mags have been made to use many cases they are not designed for. But thats just me and my wild hair for crazy cases. So, if had a 277 blank and wanted a truck gun, I would build a 270x47 using a 6.5x47 as the parent case, or a 270-08 based off the 308 case or a 270 BR by necking up some 6 BR brass. I'm limited to a complete rifle with bottom metal and the whole nine yards. I'm on the search for a beat up Rem 700 6.8 donor rifle. The 338 Spectre uses a 6.8 SPC bolt face. I learned all this via another member here as I'm working through a 338 Spectre build. If you really have to have a 6.8 SPC bolt gun, to do it right, you need to start off with a Remington 700 that was originally chambered from Remington in 6.8 SPC and then have your work done to it. They would have to be made unless you had original Rem 700 6.8 bottom metal. It is completely different than a 223 or a 308. Second, they have proprietary bottom metal and follower. You will need to have a smaller bolt faced bolt opened up for it. Some things you should know about the 6.8 spc and bolt guns.įirst, they have a proprietary bolt face.
