How would i go about converting to a clip in my fn herstal 300wsm spr. Right now it only holds 3 rounds and id like to take the bottom metal off and add a clip, is it as simple as buying a clip and taking the hinged door off?

Hmmm. Not sure anyone makes a kit to use clips in those rifles. Did you have stripper clips or en-bloc clips in mind?

If you decide you'd prefer to feed the rifle via magazines though, consider CDI precision. They make a bottom metal that accepts detachable box magazines (DBM).

A clip feeds ammunition into a magazine and a magazine feeds ammunition into the chamber.
