...<i>the two cases and rounds are completely different</i><br /><br />Sigh. I frequently get similar answers from support types who obviously didn't really read what I was asking, and apparently assumed I was just an idiot wondering if I could stick a square peg in a round hole. Good luck.tkdkerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-18292046956357942082014-09-09T19:21:51.382-07:002014-09-09T19:21:51.382-07:00Yeah, the mag may be the most problematic part; th...Yeah, the mag may be the most problematic part; the bolt & barrel I'm not seeing a real problemFirehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-5202047602638052302014-09-09T19:14:42.567-07:002014-09-09T19:14:42.567-07:00If you have enough time, money, and the services o...If you have enough time, money, and the services of a good smith, most anything can be done to anything. <br />My guy down here just finished redoing an SKS platform in .357 Sig for somebody. <br />He's currently redoing a P-14 in 7.62X54 Russian for me and I bought a P-14 in 30-30 Win from him. <br />Admittedly the 30-30 still has mag/feed problems but we're working on that, heh, heh, heh.0007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-90900051213839818732014-09-09T18:14:25.909-07:002014-09-09T18:14:25.909-07:00Just for grins I loaded 10 30-30 rds into a 10rd D...Just for grins I loaded 10 30-30 rds into a 10rd DPMS 308 mag, taking much care to get the top rim in front of the others.<br />If you haven't done this yet, you need to cuz it won't be a quick fix.<br />It. Is. FUBAR. <br /><br />The too small front (mucho taper + rim) makes it wiggle in the mag. Wiggle means the rim above gets BEHIND the rim below and needs a bic pen to shove them down out of the way. Two even got their rim in front of the next round but behind the *3rd* one in line. <br />KMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-57477921758422993212014-09-09T11:23:59.788-07:002014-09-09T11:23:59.788-07:00It's possible, but I'd appreciate a 'W...It's possible, but I'd appreciate a 'We can't help you with this' instead of "It won't work. Because we say so."<br /><br />I'm hoping a .308 mag would work, would have to see. For the rim, thinking the same thing the Romanians do on mags for the PSL: about 1/3 up from the back of the lips there's a cutout on both sides; you place the rim there, then push the cartridge down & back. That makes sure the rim of each is in front of the cartridge below. And it does feed nicely.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-29530995564516406582014-09-09T10:19:47.495-07:002014-09-09T10:19:47.495-07:00Sorry, I did miss it.
