[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2294480, member: 24284"] Is that Oregunsmithing? The .284 case can be made to feed, but it ain't "drop-in". There is nothing mythical about the 1909 Argentine action. It's a standard length 1898 military Mauser made by DWM. The big deal with the 1909 is the 'factory' hinged floorplate. I have seen 1 std length military '98 altered to feed the .300WSM. Whoever did that metal work was slick! I made the stock for it. Swift Bullets bought out Ted Blackburn bottom metal, and they make custom bottom metal designed for several cartridges, specific. Sunny Hill Enterprises makes nice, custom bottom metal, also. Most '98s will feed AI cartridges with very little, if any, work. Just make sure you have enough magazine length, or count on alterations to make it work properly. Count on feed work for any cartridge with a larger than .473 head diameter. [/QUOTE]
