Wyatt CFE mag box milling pics

[Blancoalex]

Just ordered Wyatt's CFE mag box for Rem 700 SA BDL for 7MM SAUM. Does anyone have pics they can share of what needs to milled in bottom of action and factory BDL metal. And any other tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I didn't have to do anything to the bottom metal. A picture of the receiver modification is shown on the Wyatt website.

I installed a Wyatts box in a short action with hand tools , and did a write up with pictures to go along with it . photo bucket is holding my pics for ransom , so I don't know how much help this will be . it worked out great , and functions well too . the mag box and bedding is part one .

throating , the one I couldn't pass up part 2

here is part 1 on this rifle . viewtopic.php?f=9&t=32610 I received the throating reamer from 4D Wednesday . I was disgusted when I got it , I thought I would get the "T" handle to turn the reamer since it's pictured with the set on 4D's website , but I didn't . so I thought about...

jimbires , did quick look at your writeup. I like your high tech vertical rifle holder . Simple but effective.

see that baby works horizontal too . LOL



I do have some pics I'll post up for you to look at . hope these help . if you have any questions just ask , I'll try to help . Jim


all opening of the action goes towards the trigger , rearward . DO NOT cut towards the recoil lug , frontwards . mine worked out that I cut it through the small angled hole .you can still see the threads .




you'll need to modify the bolt stop . I screwed the bolt stop to a board to be able to hold it while I cut it .


the small piece needs cut off yet .

finished

checking the bolt stop, to be sure it allows the bolt to travel far enough to pick up a round from the magazine .

more pics .

these are the tools I used . cut it out , then polish it with emery cartridge rolls . just like porting and polishing a cylinder head .



I think that's it . if you have any questions , just ask . Jim

I did not have to do anything to the bottom metal either . I used the factory rem bottom metal .

Thanks Jim for the pics. I am lucky to have mill available. My order should arrive this Friday. I hope to get time to work on it this weekend and try to remember to take pics and share.

I use a 3/16 end mill and mill the back of the action rearward. Once I hit the target length I clean up the corners with a solid carbide 1/8" end mill at high speed. The Wyatt's boxes work great if they are machined correctly and the feed rails are addressed

For the PRC, RSAUM, WSM guys using SA Rem 700 as your base platform, have you seen the SA Mid Length kit from Wyatt's? His mid length kit allows for an OAL of 3.200 + and if it works/feeds as advertised, I'd think that would make for a pretty slick setup on a SA Rem 700.

I've watched the video.

I would not want one of the 3.200" conversions because I think the bolt will have a tendency to bind. I have a Surgeon 591 WSM action and a Surgeon 591 standard action. I can tell the difference between them. I think another .200" of bolt travel on the WSM would make me not like it.
