Help LS Wild design the new stock!

[Bluumoon]

For those wanting AICS, we could do a standard Tikka inlet, and then you could use a Waters/Redsnake/Atlasworx conversion bottom metal. The only modification those require is to slightly open the walls of the stock (think mag well) to accommodate a wider magazine, which is internal only, no exterior modifications needed.

I haven’t been able to find much info on using any of the options. @NSI might have said something about it at one point

Redsnake seems to be the best option.

A laminate MS in 1:1 form would be 4 lbs.

Only AICS if flush mag is available

Why is this a bad thing?

Why is this a bad thing?

Because outside of Hawkins Hunter mags, which don’t fit everything AICS (that I’m aware of), I don’t know of a single flush AICS mag for 223 or 6 PRC. I don’t like a mag hanging down very far. Gets really annoying when carrying the rifle.

We have different preferences then. I have no issue hooking my hand around a mag, carrying African over the shoulder when safe to do so, or strapping to a pack with a magazine. Advantages of a magazine are numerous and not easily discarded.

I used to have a strong preference for flush mags too primarily because that’s where my hunting rifles balanced without a suppressor so my hand was there when carrying. Now with cans on everything they balance well in front of the mag so it’s not in the way anymore. That foreword balance is nice for shooting off front support too.

Hawkins new mags supposedly work in Tina’s with their bottom metal in an aics platform.

I’d happily carry a mag sticking down to have the reliability j have had with aics over tikka mags

You’ve had issues with Tikka mags? (Obviously we know their 223 mags have issues)

Yea. They put the mag release in the worst spot. Front bag/ deep on a pack I had dumped mags. Dump mags from a mid rifle one hand carry.

Aics leaves your mag release by your trigger guard where you should be paying attention.

Stock makers obviously can’t figure out how to keep inlet and mag depth correct with tikka mags. With aics they can be adjusted to the cartridge/rifle. Many aics mag bottom metal can be had with differing height mag releases to further tune this.

Iv got a lot of rounds on both and have had far fewer issues with aics. I can keep an aics mag running well for barrels without much hassle.

UPDATE:

This project is moving along! The designer is starting on the CAD model of what we have sent him. Be on the lookout for more information as we progress. Some day, I’ll be able to post the CAD model on here so you can better see what it will look like.

I wouldn't want shorter than a KRG bravo.

Oddly specific to my use - If I cant get a schmedium +1 bag the long way between the magazine and a bipod with a little room to spare => too short.

Edit to add - that is why the rokstok lite doesn't intrigue me much. Understand others may feel differently.

Took a picture for illustration at the range recently. Can barely fit a schmedium between bipod and magazine on a bravo and that’s with the spigot! Pod lock on this bipod doesn’t help.

Current plan is for the forend to be 10.5” from the front action screw to the tip. And it will be able to be trimmed down by 2”
