[QUOTE="BradArnett, post: 575520, member: 32738"] I"m not familiar with the 527's magbox but I am with the Rem700's. I run them (75Amax) in 223's and 223AI's. Modding the magbox to take a longer COAL is a 10 minute job at most. Its as simple as cutting out the spacer from the magbox and adding a new one that gives you the length you need. You can do it in multiple ways, from litterally forming a dam and pouring it with jb weld or something of the like. If you go that route it helps to drill a couple holes to give you a mechanical lock. Easier yet is to use a piece of delrin, which is like the slick plastic of a cutting board. I've done it with that by simply cutting the piece to size and epoxying it in place. You can also do it with a piece of aluminum stock of the right size. It really is that simple. You still run the original spring/follower and will have zero feeding issues. I can't/won't make the concession to run a single shot bolt gun and there is no reason to do so in this situation.
