Installed in a original stock

I was unhappy to discover that this MAGPUL box Magazine Well did not fit into my original Remington 700 308 stock. The ad did not explain that detail. I can't afford a Hunter Stock. So I went out to my small work shop and became a stock surgeon. and after about 8 hours of very delicate work - WaLa it finely fit in and works perfect. I have bedded actions before and had good luck. So rather than sending it back to MAGPUL for a refund I just took the bull by the horns and installed it.

Economical mag conversion for drop plate

I have the same complaint as others about the trigger guard contacting the trigger. I plan on sanding it down for some extra clearance. So far the trigger breaks, but it does make contact with the guard. A rounded profile would have been a better option in this case. The stock and mag well make a nice upgrade for the original drop plate setup and how much of a PITA that is to load.

Mostly good

Pros: Looks great. Comes with the magazine. Con: The mag release tension is out of this world. A lot more than it should be. Also, it doesn't fit the flat triggers.
