[QUOTE="Roeder, post: 1376748, member: 87340"] I have used the MBE-5 box on several rifles using .284 based cartridges for the extra magazine length. This magazine is intended for .308 bolt face cartridges, not Short mags.These magazines don't feed well with anything the way they come from Wyatt. The feed lips (Yes they do have them) need to be bent to accommodate the cartridge being used. It's pretty hard to describe how to do it. A good starting point is to compare the dimension between the lips at the front and rear to a factory magazine and duplicate that. Then tweak as needed. Mine usually ended up with a slightly curved shape. There are a relatively few gunsmiths out there that have this mastered. Some trial and error should do it. [/QUOTE]
