acmech 0 Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hello, Anyone know exactly what thickness the 308 receiver is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I measured one at 1.1mm. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
acmech 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Only 1.1? I was hoping it was closer to 1.6mm. My plan was to press out the barrel, install an 8mm barrel, a fal gas block, move the ejector rail back, and adapt either BAR mags or mg13 mags to fit. It would be a lot of work, but I don't really want to do it unless the receiver is 1.6mm or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crosshair 1 Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Mabee you could get one in 30-06 to do the conversion to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
