Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
Will there be a 308 version in the future? 20 round PMags sticking out of the bottom of a 700 would look pretty good.

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
would that even be usable? off the bench the mag would be too long and shooting prone... probably even worse..

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
i'm not sure how I feel about that...I think a 10 rounder is all I'd ever want really.

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
People used to do it with the M-14 20 round magazines.
It would be nice to have a cheaper magazine option than AICS

Wow, that is sweet...... How is it shooting with a 30 rounder from the prone?

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
Would the action have to be modified to feed with the stagger feed that the AR15 is setup for?

forget the 30's, the 20rnd mags would be perfect.

People still do it with M14s and ARs. Why would a bolt gun stick out more then a Semi.
That looks like the cat's meow for those who want to shoot bolt guns across the course but are too lazy to learn to use stripper clips.

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
Armalon in UK has been using AR mags in Remmy 700s for a while but modifying the receiver and the mag to make them work. If these were just 'plug & play' by drilling a hole in the stock for the mag release they would be great but website says 'minor milling required to action'. I have a bunch of AR 10-rounders that would be perfect, I'd need to see a gunsmith's review.

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
We agree the 30 round mags are to long for most applications. 20 round mags are perfect for most.

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
So, any reply on the ask for you to build similar for the 308 sized cartridges?

Yes this is not a plug and play system. You need to machine the feed rails from the action to clear the mag. Once this is done there is no going back. I would also suspect that the feed ramp may need to be modified as well to reliably feed from both sides of the mag. The receiver will always have to be some type of mag fed system once the feed rails are removed.
Looks interesting but looks to be just too much modifying for a .223 mag system. Systems have been done before to work with simi-auto mags with not much success but I wish them good luck.

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
Don't just look at this for the 223 rifles. This opens up the detachable mag systems for other calibers as well like the 7.62x39, 5.45x39, 6.5 grendel etc.etc.

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
Robert,
Thank you,
we have had several customers interested in the 6.5 grendel mag conversion.
This is a really easy conversion for most rifle smiths, very little action work. fitting the mag system is the same as most after market bottom medal. Feeding is flawless with all medal feed lip mag's

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
Ok, I gotta ask why? Why is that capacity needed for a bolt gun? My 700 is for precision shooting. If I want to blow through ammo I'll pull out the AR. Don't get defensive. Just can't see the logic. Mall ninjas?

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
Because magazines can be found for $6 rather than $70. And most already have the magazines already.

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
I think along the same lines. If i wanted to just blow through rounds would use my Ar15. Imho the mag button milled into the stock looks like garbage and ruins the look. I would put a seekins system in and not ruin the clean lines. To each his own.

Hi di you have a pic of the parts? does this use the factory rem floor plate? if so it would be the weak link.

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
The idea behind the mag conversion was for gopher shooting. I would rather shoot a bolt gun, but like having high cap cheap mags that I can preload at night. Yes the Seekins mag release will work fine, giving the option of both.
Any interst in a group buy?

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
i think it's awesome, and something i've been wanting for a LONG time.
you have the capacity if needed, or you can run 10 rounders if not. The money you'll save just on mags alone makes it worth it...and the fact that you can now use a lot of different calibers that weren't possible before is even better.
haters are gonna hate...a lot just because they "think" they "need" to, to be cool... to be honest...if you wanna hate about this...why not hate about all the detachable mags out there?
if you NEED 10 rounds, and then have back up mags loaded....that cost $70-90 each....why not just buy 1-20round mag for $10? this is innovation and just plain awesome.
oh and for the guy saying the button looks ugly....glad you think looks takes precidence over function, mall ninja

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
Looks kinda kool...but as mentioned above...kinda worthless for anyone wanting to shoot long bullets. You will be limited to very short, AR mag length for seating depth.
Take care,Stan

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
I feel like this is one of those cases where just because it CAN be done does not necessarily mean it SHOULD be done.

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
I'm going to cry foul here. The guy's a 'Hide sponsor who's trying to sell his product. If you don't like it move on. there's no need to crap on his thread.
That being said, I like the idea myself. All my reloading is done for AR length mags anyway. And this way there's just one type of mag for both. Makes good sense to me.

No Way . This is not the Commercial products For Sale Forum . If this was a Vendors Add & put into the Commercial Add section then it most definitely would be ' Thread Shitting ' .
product, Pro & Con discussion is all that is going on & I for one really appreciate it & that is what happens when throwing yourself out into the public web .

Re: Reminton 700 AR mag conversion
I did not mean to look to pissy on the Post . I though I was being pretty PC & non aggressive ?
AR Mag. conversion for boltaction is not for everyone . Some make points of Pro/Con pretty dry & some do it politely while thinking of others feelings . I get a much better picture of it's advantages and disadvantages for sure from this Thread on what some are saying .
Personally, I like it's premeditated thought in design to fill a small nitch & need with a marriage between one of the most inexpensive & mass produced Mags. in the world to a Bolt-action BM .
with regularity I usually stick for a long-term commitments to my rifle that I choose to shoot and build. I will also build for single purpose in mind . So for me marrying my Action & Stock to 1 BM Mag. conversion does not really bother me at all . But to some it is a complete turn-off for a commitment like this BM & Mag. set-up . Because they run threw Rifles like toilet paper.

Sorry to rez an old thread but something that might bring new interest to this conversion is the 300 blackout suppressed, least that is what got me here. Id love to have one to convert a 700 rem in 300 blackout or even the micro7 in 300blk by AAC ? anyone tried this conversion in a 300 setup? Seeing how the 300 and 556 use same mag in ARs...
Since these have been out for a while what have been the pros and cons found? I see price is down some but showing out of stock backorder? They function fine with PMags? is modifaction only to the action and not the mag? any feedback from end users would be great
Waiting on my suppressor tax stamp and leaning towards the 700rem because of all the after market items. 300aac in a bolt gun with higher cap mag is the ultimate suppressed setup imo.
