My son killed this Blacktail buck the last day he could hunt this year.

Contact TROS USA, they make custom adapters.

If they haven't been altered, I will take both of them.

Are you sure it is cracked? To me it looks like a scar/scratch. I also don't believe the types of steel used in modern actions would be prone to fracture.

Upper receivers are usually made of aluminum. The extension is steel, and it needs to be steel as the bolt head locks into it.

I believe you are going to run into problems with that. Check to see if your rifle has feed rails or if they have been removed. I think those factory DM models rely on the magazine for feed rails and the factory rails have been removed from the reciever.

Chad, Are you wanting to convert from Remington factory detachable magazine to the BDL style hinged floorplate?

Extremely excessive headspace will cause case head separations. After you remove the front half of the case, compare it to an unfired cartridge. Does it still have the long neck of a 222? Someone may have reamed the chamber to 223 and failed to mark it as such. If it still appears to be 222...

Are you sure you are taking care of parallax?
