Do any of the Ruger bolt actions in this caliber take AR style 350legend mags?
I'm glad you brought up Ruger. I had totally overlooked them.
I'm almost positive the ranch and go wilds take AR mags.
I'm thinking a Mini would be a fairly easy conversion for a gunsmith and with a Samson folder be a damn good back pack and pdw set up.
I know I'm starting to stray a bit from the original idea, with it being more of a Carbine setup as opposed to a short pdw.

Been awhile since I have done an update so here goes.
All previous Ideas have been scrapped and a whole new monster has been awakened on this idea.
Recently picked up a Z-M Weapons/Yankee Hill LR300 AXL. These are kinda rare birds and parts are far and few in between but this is the perfect candidate for my idea.
Currently trying to track down any OEM parts I can and also seeing if have a 3D scan done on some of the parts to have them made in the near future.

A Brief history-
The LR-300 operates with the "DIGS" system and allows for a true side folder AR platform.
These were one of the first true side folding Ars.
Alan Zitta of Z-M Weapons is the designer of the system and along with Yankee Hill produced the 2nd version called the AXL and after a brief production Para USA aquired the design and totally ruined the concept and availability. After Para was absorbed into Remington and then Remington folded it is currently unknown by me where the design is stuck in purgatory.

Now to my concept and modification plan/idea.
Have .350 legend barrel modified to work with the upper and gas system, as there is some minor machining needed done for they way the digs system works as opposed to normal D.I.
After this it'll be on to the gas block/system.
I have an ad up on the WTB looking for some odds and ends for my prototype parts in the case anyone who takes the time to read this wants to help me out.
ALSO IF YOU KNOW OF ANY AND I MEAN ANY PARTS FOR THIS PLATFORM PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
This is a major passion project for me and would like to get this platform back into the 2A communities eye sight.
