Thread: New Stiller custom action - Spectre

So basically if you cant afford a Spinctre action then you will just go out and buy a m70 action............................................THAT WAS A JOKE for you sensitive types.

Yep, there always has to be one...........

To me the single thing that this action does that a Rem700 will not do , is run a AI AW magazine , you could mod a Rem700 to do this , BUT you wuold be cutting a lot of metal out of the bottom of the Rem action , and in the process weaken the action , remember the Rem700 has a open top as well as a open bottom .
How the custom actions address this problem , is they have a enclosed top strap for lack of a better word .
The AI AW mag is a double stack/feed mag , and not only needs a big hole in the bottom of an action , BUT different ramping to a std Rem700 action .

To me this action can be used in a normal stock , with bottom metal , like Stillers or BadgerM5 , and also can be dropped into a chassis type stock , like the AI AICS or AI AX AICS .

They look real nice in the AX stock , BUT the biggest reason to use a Spectre or similar action is all about the magazine .

Good info chris

Heres a photo of 2 different AI mags , bottom one is a 10rd AW mag , top is a AI AICS Rem700 mag , very different , the AW is a double stack/double feed , the AICS mag is a double stack , single feed design .

The AW 10rd mag is not much bigger than a 5rd AICS mag .

Here's a pic showing the 5rd AICS mag , & the 10rd AW mag , as you can see the AW is not much bigger in size for double the capacity as well as double feed , etc ,
