22 ARC build question

[HandgunHTR]

Hey all. I have decided that my next build will be a 22 ARC. I am thinking that I will either build off of a Tikka .223 action by having the bolt face opened up, or use a ARC Coup de Grace action.

My only hang-up is around what magazines I would use with either of those. I am pretty sure that the Tikka 223 mags won't work with those larger ARC cases. With the Coup de Grace actions, they are AICS/AIAW only and the only options I see for those mags are 10 or 12 rounders. Not sure that I am digging that. I like a bit more of a flush fit.

For those of you who have a 6 ARC, or any of the wildcats built off of a Grendel/PPC, what are you using for bottom metal/mags?

Or, should I look to build off of a different action?

I believe in the tikka you can use the standard M magazines

I use the standard m mags in my tikka 6arc in a factory stock, before that I had it in a krg bravo and used the 10rd mdt 6arc mags. Pretty sure Justin at Kinport Peak Rifles can cut them down to a 5rd, he can also open up a 223 bolt face to work with the arc…

That is great. Thank you!

Well then, I just might go with the Coup de Grace action after all.
