Not a great purchase

I thought I'd try an affordable option this time and I apparently got what I paid for. The spring in the magazine is worthless and I have yet to get this setup to function correctly in my rifle.

Back of trigger guard touches trigger

When the mag well was installed on the bench, the trigger was close to the trigger guard and had just a few thousandths of clearance. After two rounds fired at the range, the rifle seated into the Magpul Hunter stock and the trigger was bound on the trigger guard. Could not get a third round to fire. Must either modify the trigger guard by filing the back (slanted portion) or replace the Remington trigger with a strait trigger or file off the bottom 1/4 inch of the trigger. The defect in design appears to be the rear of the trigger guard has a 45 degree slant to it when it should have more of a radius to allow for the trigger pull.

Mag well too tight for AI mags.

The mag well does not accept AI magazines or aftermarket AI style magazines. This seems to function with the Magpul 308 mag that was supplied, however, I was looking to adapt this to a 223 mag. Also the trigger guard is too small to accept anything other than the factory trigger. The mag release is clumsy and requires an enormous amount of pressure to release. I am sending this back with the Magpul hunter stock. I will wait for the second generation from Magpul with hopes that they rectify their design shortcomings.
