It definitely sounds like you're happy with the rifle.

My Badger'd bolt arrived today. I like it....a lot. It's a bit odd that Badger doesn't do the work themselves, though their website sure makes it sound like they do. When I'm ready to have the other one done, I'll call River's Bend directly.

I'll let you know if the Magpul 7.62 AC mag works out.

Yes, I'm very happy with it.

I did my own knob (that sounds dirty) and saved some bucks, cost me the price of the knob ($30ish).

Yes, let me know please.

I expect to hear

and

talking about doing their knobs.....not you. I guess I now know.

My metalworking ability is pretty limited, so I didn't even consider doing the mod myself. The smith was pretty quick.

The Magpul 7.62 AC mag arrived today. Yep, I ordered it yesterday at 5:30 PM and received it before 1:00 today. I cycled about 25 dummy rounds through the rifle, and it worked well. Evaluation rounds I loaded to near AICS mag length fit comfortably in the Magpul mags.

It's longer than an AICS 5 round mag, and considering the tight fit, that's okay with me. I noticed the verbiage on the package about modding the follower to allow for a 6 round capacity. After a couple minutes of work, it's a 6 round magazine. I'll definitely be buying some more, and some 10 round ones after they become available.
