Re: Rem BDL inlet vs Williams in a McMillan
Once again. NO they aren't.
McMillan inlets a "shadow line" with their 700 BDL inlet to accommodate the floorplate and with the Williams they don't. That's why I would like to see a 700 BDL in a Williams inlet.

I also have one that will not fit in a McM but fits in a BDL wood stock.

Re: Rem BDL inlet vs Williams in a McMillan
McMillan stocks cut for Remington BDL will not fit the Williams drop in, They are different on the McMillan. You need to tell McMillan that you are using a drop in Williams if you want it right.
The drop in Williams will fit the HS style stock with no issues due to the stock design.
The stock below is cut for Williams drop in. You can see the extra cut in the stock to fit the Williams door. If you have a stock cut for the factory BDL the Williams door will hit do to McMillan cutting in a recess for the door, and the different shape of the Williams door.

If you look in the options in the link they ask for what stock because they have variations even one for the mcmillan.I suggested calling them because if you had the incorrect one they would probably trade it out.

Re: Rem BDL inlet vs Williams in a McMillan
Gentlemen,
If you gather up about 30 or 40 Remington BDL floorplates made over a 20 year span, you will find that they are not all identical. On some the front of the floorplate will overhang the front of the frame by .020" or .030", and on some they overhang the rear of the frame by the same amount. The "shadow line" we cut around the frame is a relief cut we make to allow all the floorplates to set flush on the frame and open and close easily without binding. It also let the BDL floorplate sit down into some of the deeper belly stocks (MBR's, silhouette's, etc) and still function. It's taken about 20 years of tinkering with our BDL inletting program to get to the point where some customers wouldn't gripe about their floorplate being hard to close or open.
The Williams floorplate has a longer floorplate than the Remington. The floorplate extends about .100" or so past the front of the trigger bow (what we used to call a straddle (sp?) floorplate because the front straddles the front of the trigger bow) to give it some side impact resistance. We inlet the proper clearance for this style to sit flush on the frame and operate properly also.
The two floorplate frames are basically the same, but the floorplates themselves are not. The solution is really quite simple, if you are using a Remington BDL floorplate order the stock inletted for it. If you are using a Williams BDL floorplate then order the stock inletted for the Williams.
