Change Floor Plate to Clip

va_hunter · 09-07-2007, 11:05 AM

I just bought a Model 700CDL with the hinged floor plate to allow easy removal of ammo. I would like to remove the floor plate and go to a clip/magazine. Any one know if this can be done?

Anything is possible but I believe you are asking for trouble with function and looks of thr firearm.My opinion,it wont look good,it may not work good,and for sure it will be expensive. sam.

You might be able to convert it to use a removable mag like a 7400 but I don't know what it would entail. You might check with LeftyO or Mooseman.

This is nothing I want to do if it requires a lot of work. The ADL and BDL come with clips so I was hoping it might be an easy fix. I have no interest in rebuilding the thing. Thanks for your insight.

That's interesting...I have a 700 in 30.06 that I inherited from my dad. I'm afraid to shoot it just for fun because I recently found out I have a congenital bone defect in my right shoulder that needs surgery. I get enough pain from it already, I'm afraid the .06 might make it worse.
