I really want to buy this, if it were to work it would be the perfect solution. I am wanting to use it in my SPS Tactical hogue stock. Has anyone tried this? If so what were the results? Also is there only a 5 round magazine available?

ok thanks thats the exact stock that I was looking to put it in. How much "off" was it? I don't have the skill set to mill it open and I was hoping to keep from having to send my stock off. If I am going to have to mill a stock its not going to be the Hogue one lol.
I tried but had to return it. It was too long for both my B&C A3 stock and the original tuperware stock on a R700 SA Varmint. I ordered before the bundle price showed up (not too anxious about the dropin BM potential, huh). Sheila was nice enough to offer the bundle discount after the fact. Measuring with my calipers, it was 0.035 too long. I don't have the tools or experience to try and inlet it myself. I could not find any local shops that could do it either. I haven't heard back about the credit either (it was received a week ago). I am hoping I am not stuck with shipping two ways and a restocking fee too.
Gotta love Massachusetts, huh?!Update: The restocking fee was waved and credit applied. No complaints here about customer service or about the bottom metal. It was worth a try, especially given my budget. I still haven't found a local gunsmith that does custom rifle work (beyond what I can already do myself). The places for any long range shooting in this area are few and far between so I guess there isn't much of a market. I had high hopes that this would be an easy upgrade but my usual luck prevails. The club I belong to will eventually have a 600 yd range. I have been learning by reading and practicing with an R700 to get me started. I picked the wrong time to get started in reloading too--that luck thing again! But, I'm hooked.
Gotta love Massachusetts, huh?!
600 yd range here is pretty much unheard of.

Don't they shoot 600 at Fort Devins?
I must say that I am really happy to see you all struggling with this "drop in" DBM.
Only because I felt a horrible pit in my stomach as I ground away at my mags and stock getting the "drop in" to fit.
I will take some pics this evening of my DBM and stock and mag to show what I had to do. Mine feeds 100% so far. I do not have the action as it is out for build right now so I can only hope that when it comes back it still feeds as reliably as it did.
I did my stock inletting with an air grinder and my mag grinding with a Dremel. The stock isn't pretty, but it's mine and it works. I could clean it up a mill but if it ain't broke don't fix it, it fits nice and snug as is. I had to take so much off the back of the mags that if I'm not careful I will push a round out the back of it.
Why not just give us a call and send us ur stock, we will CNC inlet it inside of a week for $60, and a little bolt trimming and you're good to go with genuine AI mags that work. Just trying to help put a little lol.;

It was stated in earlier posts (by Kiff--presumably Dave Kiff of PT&G) that the actual way to remedy this is to simply order a longer clip latch from PT&G.
Does anybody know if the longer clip latches are actually available yet?
I'd also be curious to hear from anybody who has received and installed one. Could anyone relay the specs--how much additional seating depth is afforded, vs. the original design?
And lastly--has it completely solved your feeding issues?
Glad to you got that dbm 100% eightring
