MikedaddyH Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I got the 270WSM barrel finished today. This is the second attempt. The first barrel got scrapped after 3 of 4 gunsmiths told me not to shoot it. This barrel is 24 inches long ( 1-10" twist ) and made from a Green Mountain blank. I still need to buy a muzzle brake for it and get it Blued. I drilled the gas port hole today and aligned the gas block. My friend put a tactical champher on the muzzle and we mounted the barrel on the upper receiver. If I have the time I will put on the Magpul hand rail tonight. I'll take some pictures after I assemble the rifle. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

204 AR Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I would be interested in the name of the outfit that mods the pmags, as the same ones should work for my 300 saum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brushawg Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Glad to see you are back on it. You inspired me to do the same. Have a 300 wsm upper but needed mags and a good lower. Please keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 The AR 270wsm build is done. It was a real PITA to fit the Magpul handguard on, there was a difference of <0.4" because I used a Delta ring setup. Had to modify the front of the top rail to fit the gas block. Hope to get out by Thursday to shoot, its suppose to rain thur Wednesday. Still need to soak the BCG in oil for a couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
