98Z5V Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 The Battle Arms Development BAD-DBM, Detachable Box Magazine Bottom Metal setup, made for the Remington 700 Short Action bolt-action rifles.Besides changing the Rem 700 to a magazine-fed rifle instead of a top-loading rifle, one very, very nice feature on this system that distinguishes it from similar setups: the magazine release that's integrated into the trigger guard.I've got this setup on the way to me, and it should be installed and shooting by next weekend (hopefully). I'll be trying a few experiments with this, so stay tuned on the progress. As soon as it arrives, I'll have two of the experimental answers immediately, and the third following shortly thereafter. As soon as those tests are finished, it's going in this Remington 700 SPS Tactical, AAC-SD version:As always, Roger, it's great to talk to you on the phone - with everything in the shipping package that's on the way, I'm positive that Robocop is going to be slightly disappointed at the end of this summer... <lmao> <laughs>Thanks again, Roger. <thumbsup> :happydrunks:
unforgiven Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 That is a very nice setup for a bolt rifle brother <thumbsup>
IM_JOHNNYV Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Looking forward to your evaluation of this product. As always, if it's from Battle Arms Development, it has to be great........
98Z5V Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Posted June 18, 2012 Looking forward to your evaluation of this product. As always, if it's from Battle Arms Development, it has to be great........That's the exact thing I said to Roger about it - there are lots of DBM setups out there, but knowing this comes from BAD, I don't have to worry about any kind of quality, workmanship, functionality, or warranty issues. Can't wait to get it in my grubby paws... <thumbsup>
jeffreyC Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 If they are ever made for Savage long actions, I will be one of the first in line.
blue109 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 Maybe i missed it(phone surfing) but what mags does it use? I was up looking at bm for my pbr last night. this looks way nicer than anything else out there. Damn remmys get all the fun parts
98Z5V Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Posted June 19, 2012 Compatible with Accuracy International (AI) mags. I have a couple experiments in mind for this. <thumbsup>
unforgiven Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 I think I missed it brother Tom how many rounds in mag? <dontknow>
blue109 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 Just noticed your sig line.... poetry from the good doctor lol.
98Z5V Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Posted June 19, 2012 Just noticed your sig line.... poetry from the good doctor lol.Hell yeah, brother! <thumbsup>
Battle Arms Dev Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 Thanks Tom :DWe have been working together with Randy Cain at R+D Precision, who was part of the development team before we obtained the rights to what is now the BAD-BDM. It was a great product when it was released in limited numbers, after we got our hands on the design, we spent another year refining it further.It was one of the projects that absorbed a lot of time and resources, the end result will show the typical attention to detail and quality we're known for :)
Robocop1051 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 Oh wow!Damn you all!!!I just got offered a ripping' good deal on a mint condition 700 in .260 Rem. I think I'm going to have to rethink my stance on that offer. Effin' Tom and his BDM!!
unforgiven Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 <lmao> Gotcha,he gets us all in the end :o <laughs> :cookoo:
98Z5V Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Posted June 20, 2012 Hehehe... My plan is working... <laughs> <lmao> :ecs:
98Z5V Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Posted June 21, 2012 Received the parts already - almost 48 hours after hanging up the phonecall with Roger, and the order was here waiting for me to pick it up. <thumbsup> :happydrunks:Here's a comparison between the Rem 700 SPS Tactical factory polymer "bottom metal" parts against the BAD-DBM. Minor inletting will need to be made in the Hogue OM stock, but it's very minor. Can't get to that tomorrow night, but I'll do it Friday night. Tests one and two are a pass. Test one was the factory Ruger Gunsite Scout 10-round mag, made by Accurate Mag - fits in there like a charm:Test two was the Ruger GSR polymer 10-round mag - also fits like a charm, and fits slightly tighter than the Accurate Mag (same way on the Ruger GSR, too). Love it. Suggested retail on the 10-round polymer mag straight from Ruger is $39.99. Score. ;DI have a couple more tests that I'll do with the BAD-DBM, but those will come next week. Friday night I'll inlet that stock and function check the loading, and Sunday it's gettin' live-fired with the 10-rounders. <thumbsup>Again, I can't thank you enough, Roger. Sincerely. 8)
blue109 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Posted June 21, 2012 Test two was the Ruger GSR polymer 10-round maggame changuh..nevah ben dun befo!!
Battle Arms Dev Posted June 21, 2012 Report Posted June 21, 2012 Thanks Tom! The dual, integrated to the trigger guard paddle release can be used as intended: index finger pressing down on either lever, or as old school HK G3 /MP5 release (with the supporting hand's thumb) :D
98Z5V Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Posted June 23, 2012 Got the stock inletting finished tonight, and function checked both styles of magazines. The Ruger GSR Accurate Mag functions flawlessly for feeding and ejection of rounds. Kinda knew that was gonna happen. Surprisingly, the Ruger GSR polymer mag won't feed rounds. Disappointing. It might grab the top round once in awhile, but if it does it won't grab the next. Might be the thick feedlips... Gonna try a few things... <thumbsup>
imschur Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 It's tough to see these threads and not have them distract me from other plans. Damn you..damn you both
98Z5V Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Posted June 23, 2012 Just trying to do my part to try to stimulate the economy, brother... <laughs> <lmao>
