HS Precision Mags
The mags are much better than I expected. Now I know what "Best in Class" looks like. I'm am extremely pleased with the HS Precision bottom metal & detachable mags. Fitting the bottom metal was a simple 10 minute job with my dremel tool to make room for the mag release.
Would you recommend this?
Yes, I would recommend to a friend
great but understand what youre buying
so heres my two cents. HS precision makes great products and very nice rifles. some filing was required for proper fit but thats to be expected with any precision or match grade component. that being said, it takes proprietary magazines which im not stoked about especially considering their 10rd .308 mag is $140. also not a huge fan of magazine releases inside the trigger guard as it just seems like an AD waiting to happen. this is something i noticed when shooting their rifles however a careful shooter shouldnt be too concerned. last downside for me is the price point. this floor plate costs almost 4x more than any other on the market and im not 100 percent sure its completely worth it unless you have the extra money laying around. anyway great product but my wallet hurts and im about 90 percent happy lol
Fit in Bell and Carlson Rem 700
Took me 15 min from opening the box to torque the action screws. Adjustments to the bridge area of the stock and to the inside of receiver were required. Covered in instructions. Fit very snug in the stock and very pleasing to the eye. I very much prefer it over the numerous versions of ACI type bottom metal I have purchased and used.
Very good product
Was very easy to install. Took about 30 mins. Small file and a little time. Fits perfectly. Loads perfectly. Well worth the little time and money.
Works perfectly
I have this system with 5- and 10-round H-S magazines, fitted into the H-S Precision stock that comes from Remington as part of their Model 5R Milspec. While the system is not drop-in, it is *almost* drop-in. The only conflict is the internal latch that holds onto the magazine. When you release the latch moves outward and this conflicts with the stock crosspiece. I got out a riffler file and made a slim diagonal channel in the soft crosspiece material (no neet to touch the aluminum chassis underneath) and in 10 minutes I had a perfect drop-in fit. On my Manners T5A the same fitment is required, plus a slight enlargement of the rearmost portion of the mag well. Manners will perform this themselves at no cost on a BDL-inlet stock if you ask them at time of purchase. As to functionality, it is perfect. If your rounds don't fit this magazine then they don't fit any magazine. then they must not conform to 7.62 NATO specs. I have run several types of ammo plus handloads with an OALT of 2.793" and they fit fine. 145gr commercial ammo has a bunch of extra room. 175gr commercial match ammo not so much, but it fits.
Better than I expected!
This was listed as a drop in kit. But on my Remington 700 bdl, this was not the case. I needed to do a good deal of inletting and relief work to seat this kit properly. No modifying of the kit itself was needed. I used my dremmel tool and slow removal of material until I had a sound fit. Once the main body was seated there were gaps around the edges. I will be using Brownells stainless steel bedding kit to fill these gaps and insure nothing will move about. This kit allows flawless feeding of ammo to battery, and is of better quality than I had anticipated.
Box magazine conversion #1 upgrade !!
Generation 2 of this product is vastly superior to the original. Less noise, more positive lock, and polymer boot to prevent damage when dropped. Easy to install, no fitting necessary.
