    284 WIN Throat Length

    Awesome good to hear. Carbon six didnt think they would need to lengthen the throat but wanted me to send a few rounds in just to be sure. Got any pics of your setup?

    284 WIN Throat Length

    How does the carbon 6 .284 barrel shoot? I just ordered one. Sent some dummy rounds in with 168 bergers set out pretty far. They mentioned to me that the saami reamer they have (the Manson you mentioned) would likely work but they would throat if necessary. Ordered mine at 21”.

    The Rokslide 95 (Ruger American 😁)

    Nice. Much easier to find aftermarket parts for. The bell and carlson aics bottom metal will probably fit nice and clean.

    Unfortunately they don’t offer anything from factory for the long action rifles only the short action.

    The Rokslide 95 (Ruger American 😁)

    I had to mill the stock out in order to fit the bottom metal. Did it on a bridgeport.

    The Rokslide 95 (Ruger American 😁)

    RAR with Mcgowen 284 Winchester barrel. Bell and Carlson stock and Pacific tool and gauge bottom metal. Started life as a .30-06. Good shooter so far. Hopefully stockys will have some better stock options for these rifles at some point.

    What rifle is missing stock options?

    Long action Ruger American with a different magazine system. Mine currently is custom inletted to use AICS LA mags with PT&G bottom metal.

    My 284 Winchester Tikka Build

    Here is the Ruger American I put together. Could use some fluting and a brake at some point but haven’t gotten around to it.

    My 284 Winchester Tikka Build

    Very nice setup! I have a 284 win gap mcgowen barrel screwed onto a Ruger American that shoots really well. Have you ran into any issues with the chamber neck being too tight for non turned brass? My rifle shoots fine and chambers round fine but definitely a snug fit for Peterson and Lapua brass.
