Question About Tikka CTR Stock and 223 Mags

[Lonewolf72]

I need a clarification regarding using a Tikka CTR stock and magazine on a T3x Lite barreled action. I have a CTR stock and bottom metal from a 6.5CM. I would like to drop my 223 T3x Lite barreled action into this CTR stock. Do I only need to switch to CTR mags made for the 223, with no other changes or modifications? Do 223 CTR mags have the same external dimensions as a 6.5CM CTR mag, with the 223 mag only having a larger block and narrower feed lips for the shorter 223 Rem cartridge? Thanks.

Yep, you just need a 223 mag
