M40A1, did they tack weld the BDL box?
Working on a M40A1 clone. Somebody mentioned that the armorers in Quantico would tack weld the BDL magazine box directly to the action. Is this true? If so, what locations around the box did they weld them? My action has the screw hole for the ADL retention screw, but I cannot find a BDL box...- Dvando20

Gunsmithing Rookie 700 ADL/BDL Question
I picked up a Rem 700 ADL on the cheap a while back. Is it fairly easy to convert the action to BDL? I know that the 'box' needs to be switched out, but wasn't sure if the new one needed to be welded, etc. I'm thinking of using the ADL as a base to build off of, but would like the benefits...- Heretoimproveforhunting
