The Rokslide 95 (Ruger American 😁)

Unfortunately I don't think there is an AICS mag for the ARC/Grendel cases.

Good thing about B&C is that they have a AICS bottle metal for their Ruger American stocks. Any cartridge that will work in an AICS mag has an option. Unfortunately I don't think there is an AICS mag for the ARC/Grendel cases.

Probably sounds odd but I actually prefer the AR mags for the ARCs.

I guess there is an option for them. Looks like the B&C with the AICS bottom metal is an option for all Ruger American cartridge options. I'll be putting my new 22CM in one with the AICS bottom metal.

I get it. Everyone hates on the factory bottom metal and factory magazines for the Howa Mini Action. I like them... 223, 22 ARC, 6 ARC, and 6.5 Grendel with no issues.

Dumb question but…

Will the 7.62x39 feed out of a 6arc mag?

I converted my Ranch from mini 30 mags to AR style mags, partly because Mini30 10 rounders suck and secondly to try a DuraMag flushfit 6.5 Grendel if it ever becomes available.

Here is a 350 Legend flush fit Duramag. It feeds really well with a few different types of ammo.

I still don’t understand why that is called flush fit.

Marketing? It more flush but not all the way flush. That being said, it does carry much better in the hand and while slung on my shoulder. There is a YouTube tutorial on modifying a metal ar magazine to make it even more flush if necessary.

Do you have a link for the video? Thanks.

Shot my 7.62 a little this evening to check scope swap. Changed scope to a Bushnell Elite 4500 1-4x24 a couple weeks ago and wanted to see what it was doing at 160 yards (as far as I can stretch it at my home range). It will definitely hunt!

It was 308 day this evening!! I probably will never buy another barrel shorter than 20” again without intentions of a can in a high intensity cartridge but it sure does handle great! It shoots 150gr Hornady Am Whitetail around an inch at 100 and 1.5” group at 160 yards. I mostly shoot steel after I get the scope set from different field positions and the bipod thing is pretty new to me.

I ended up putting a LOP short block in for 13.25” and removed riser. With Warne Maxima steel bases and low Warner Vapor rings it seems to work perfectly!

Last one is the whole Ranch gang….

Top is 308
Middle is 5.56
Bottom is 7.62x39

The Mini 30 is what led me to this series! It has been flawless!

How well does the 223 feed from the flush-fit Duramag?

Like butter! I bought two and they honestly feed better than any other mag I have tried. I bought my neighbor one for a 350 legend as well but he isn’t a rifle crank so hasn’t tried it yet. I want a couple really bad for the 6.5 Grendel to try in 7.62x39. It was a huge factor in my changing the Mini 30 to AR style mags.

If I recall correctly, don’t you have a flushfit on a gen one? Feed poorly?

That’s a good picture.

Mine is a 350 Legend. It feeds very good with certain ammo. It feeds ok with some others.

Gotcha! I’m very interested in my neighbors and how it feeds but mine has been great in 223
