Model 7 Build in the works

[Tartan]

range report

Factory 108 eldm

shots 1-2, zero at 25 yards
shots 3-7 zero at 100 (b/c i'm an idiot and forgot how to read a Mil reticle...)
shots 8-10 confirm zero at 100. Adjusted .1 mil to the left.

1/2 MOA all day gun! ...

seriously though, this is rokslide. 10 shot group below. Shots 11-20. I called a flyer on the shot on the upper right. Jerked the trigger like a mofo. I'm an average shot at best and my fundamentals need work. Very happy with this little gun. It's a shooter.

that said, i'm about to go and bring it back to Alamo precision for a small tweak. I finally found a badger ordnance model 7 dbm in stock. Ordered it and 2 mdt 3 round mags. Having a little bit of feeding issues that I couldn't resolve with tweaking the lips on the wyatts rsa box or the spring. I was 50/50 on going bdl or dbm and couldn't find any in stock originally.

Nice looking rifle. I have the Remington 673 in 6.5 Rem Mag that I need to replace the laminated stock with a fiber glass or carbon stock. This will be my lightweight mountain rifle.

LRI M7 Tier 1 Blueprinted "Builder Special" Receiver Sale

Over the last week or so we've been running a large batch of M7 receivers through our Tier 1 Blueprinting process. We're finally ready to release these to the public. Here's the background on how this all came about: Prior to the Remington implosion their Custom Shop was located down the...

it was $400 for receiver w/ bolt. I'm pretty sure he's totally out of bolts at this point, not sure if he has any receivers left.

I had a bunch of additional work on top of the basic blueprint and port modifications he made as standard.

 

[Anschutz]

That's a good looking rifle.

~$800,

I also added

• M16 Extractor
• Dual ejectors
• 40x handle (chad suggested this as the cam surface on the original handle wasn't even close to lining up with the surface on the receiver)
• Time/Tig service
• Tac bolt knob

Badger DBM came in. I think I've solved the two concerns I originally had when I was going back and forth between dbm and bdl.

1. I shortened the release lever. I can still grab it pretty easy with my thumb, but it isn't sticking down super far anymore. Took off 3/8"+/-.
2. The 3 round MDT mags sit almost flush, they're light, and don't rattle at all. I did test it out sans stock with the provided pillars and it feeds great.

Now to take it back to APR and have them open up the inlet, cerakote, and install it.

 

[Tartan]

Picked it up from APR today. Very happy with the change to the dbm. I think I can finally call this one done.

Looks great! I have an M7 with that same Badger dbm. Works great, and I have been trying to decide if I want to shorten that lever like you did. It sticks out there quite aways.

 

[MTMeatHunter]

That has to be one of the best looking builds I’ve seen on Rokslide. Really nice!

 

[woods89]

@Tartan , what did you use do shorten that lever? Did you drive the pin out and pull the lever out of the dbm, or did you work on it in place?

 

[MTMeatHunter]

Kind of a silly question, but it looks like the paint job is a black base with white, tan, and brown applied. Did you use a big sponge? Might try something similar seeing as yours turned out so great

 

[brushape]

That’s a sweet looking rifle and all around great build but man I can’t get over the weight of it that’s a brick for such a compact little rifle

I punched the pin out, but just enough to remove the lever (left part of it in the trigger gaurd). I was worried that since it is a rolled pin I wouldn't be able to get it back in

used a dremel cut off wheel and a tabletop belt sander.

yes I used to brown packaging paper that was scrunched up but same results as a sponge. The brown and tan were krylon camo. The white was something random I had laying around. It is clear coated with vht matte wheel paint.

haha, for sure. I initially planned to go lighter, but after thinking about it this isn't a mountain rifle for me. Just general use in texas/oklahoma. Any out of state hunts I do with be with a bow. Maybe I'll replace the barrel when it burns out with a carbon one and save another pound, but I'm not planning any sheep hunts anytime soon

 

[Prairiekid]

I currently own two M7's. One in 7-08 and the other in 7 saum. I am planning on shortening the barrel on the saum to 20". I hope I can get it to turn out as nice as your project.

You inspired me to get out the hacksaw, a file, and some sandpaper......
