tinkerfive Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Guys I want to build a .223 bolt gun on an 03 Turk Mauser. To deal with the smaller head it was suggested to fit a magazine designed for the .223 inside the Mauser mag well. I have a few friends with AR-15's and it looks like the Mauser mag well would have to be made paper thin toward the front to accomidate an AR-15 mag due to the taper of the Mauser mag well. I was wondering if a Ruger mini 14 or some other readily available .223 magazine would be any more narrow than the AR-15 mag. Even 1/8" would make a world of difference. Thanks Tinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odies dad Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 A Ruger mini-14 fits like it was made for a regular 98 and should fit fine in the 03 as well. I made a plastic spacer to keep the magazine from rocking. I am waiting for Rod (Tanglewood) to modify the bolt face for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
