[QUOTE="264MHC, post: 2289941, member: 111161"] If I’m not mistaken, the AW cut prevents an internal BDL box from working properly. Certainly the staggered feed style won’t work but I’m not sure that a center feed Wyatt’s box would not work. I doubt you’ll find anyone with that setup though as that action is designed for detachable mags and competition use. Maybe someone with this action and a Wyatt’s center feed box in another rifle could test it? The AW cut allows you to use double stack staggered feed AI-AW mags which some prefer because a 10 round AW Mag is much shorter than a standard 10 round AICS Mag. This gap is closing though with some of the double stack-single feed mags available today from MDT and Accurate Mag that are almost as short. This of course doesn’t help much with getting flush with the rifle as they’re still 10 round mags. For that the Hawkins mentioned by others or maybe the Curtis Customs version which is similar but almost always out of stock. MDT is about to release (maybe already released?) a 3 round polymer Mag designed to sit totally flush with their new Hunt 26 Chassis. Not sure if it would sit flush with m5 metal in a normal stock yet as I haven’t seen anyone with one. Either way the Hawkins precision Hunter bottom metal is the way to go as it will sit flush with the stock by itself and allow for use with all aforementioned mags. [/QUOTE]
