    lindertw, I am glad you finally got yours. It took what, about 3weeks? That isn't too bad.

    Does your replacement have the same weld line as on your original?

    Finally took the plunge and ordered the CMMG w/10 round Black Dog mag, plus two 27-rd BDs from Brownell's today. Can't hardly wait for my Christmas gift to arrive next week!

    Plan on running at least one 550 pack through my 6933 before I go back to work!

    Will probably get a Nordic kit, too, early in '09; got everything I need but an inexpensive free float tube.

    I hope you enjoy yours as much as i enjoy mine. Let us know how long it took from order to arrival. And we also expect a review after you have shot it. And don't make my mistake, clean it well and lube it before you shoot it and use clean ammo.

    Took my CMMG kit out in 10F snowy weather and it ran like a clock for the couple hundred rounds I put through it

    Back from a Christmas Day range session. The real reason I went was to test a trigger job I did on my Browning Buck Mark to make sure it wasn't going to double. And I took my Marlin 60 along for fun. And then I decided to make an all 22LR day of it and also took my AR with the CMMG conversion bolt in it.

    I tried an experiment with the CMMG. I shot 100 rounds (4 BDM mags) of Ferderal #750 thru it first, and again had no faiures to feed, chamber, fire or extract. Then I loaded the same 4 BDM mags with Remington Goldens to see it they would work better now that my CMMG had about 1,100 rounds thru it.

    The short answer is no. About halfway thru the first mag I started having failures to chamber again. Those Goldens are just too waxy to chamber reliably. The bolt picks the Goldens from the mag just fine but they would not fully chamber, thereby jamming the action. At least I can shoot them up in my Buck Mark and Marlin where they run fine, but once they are gone I will have no more.
