Its been a busy first week back at work but found some time to machine and pre-chamber the Sako Vixen barrel to fit up this weekend. Will then focus on the Zastava builds. Still not sure if Ill put a 6x45 barrel on one of the Zastavas as I might just put a new .223 barrel on it and move it on.
On a side note a new magazine arrived for my CZ 527.
Those of you that have messed with wildcat cartridges will know that some can have their vices in factory rifles.
The 6x45 was no exception.. I have been getting quite a few failures to feed due to the fatter 6mm necks binding in the sidewall stampings in the mag designed for the .223 Remington.
It is an easy fix by milling out the slots in the pressed section on both sides which I have done in the past for .300 BLK builds but CZ have actually just released a CZ
527 in .300Blk and listed spare mags for it.
These mags are made without any side wall stamping so feed the 6x45 rounds perfectly in my rifle. WINNING!
