REMINGTON 700 DETACHABLE MAGAZINE DROP-IN KITS Reviews & Ratings

LEGACY SPORTS INTERNATIONAL REMINGTON 700 DETACHABLE MAGAZINE DROP-IN KITS

The Ammo Boost Detachable Magazine Drop-In Kit for the Remington 700 BDL from Legacy Sports International contains everything you need to boost your 700's magazine capacity. At the same time, you'll also get the speed and convenience of a detachable box magazine for ultra-fast reloads. Each Ammo Boost kit consists of (1) the magazine itself and (2) a drop-in bottom metal assembly that replaces your rifle's triggerguard, hinged floorplate, and the surrounding frame. All components are constructed of reinforced, injection-molded, impact-resistant polymer. This super-tough polymer keeps weight and your out-of-pocket cost down.

Gives detachable box-mag versatility to a Remington 700 BDL
Durable, lightweight molded-polymer construction
Easy, drop-in installation
5- and 10-round capacities available
TORQUE: 30 - 35 inch lbs. on screws

Installation of the Ammo Boost Detachable Magazine Drop-In Kit is fast and simple. Just remove the factory floorplate assembly and install the Legacy parts. (Save the factory part in case you ever want to return the rifle to its original configuration.) The kit is available in both 5-Rd and 10-Rd capacities for 700 BDL rifles chambered in a variety of popular cartridges. Why buy a whole new rifle when you can increase the versatility AND magazine capacity of the Remington 700 BDL you already own with an Ammo Boost kit?

Mag Catch Wouldn't Move

The magazine catch was stuck and wouldn't latch or even move. I had to drive out the retaining pin and re-drill the hole in the magazine catch because it was too small and wasn't allowing the catch to rotate around the pin. This problem should have been caught while it was being assembled at the factory. Luckily I'm a gunsmith and had the correct tools to fix the problem. The follower spring is also very weak but does seem to work.

Flimsy polymer

This is a very flimsy polymer trigger guard and trigger bolt hold cracked when torqued to spec. The magazine is of good construction with a good magazine spring. The Magpull version has a much better quality trigger guard, but their magazine is not as good as this one.

Weak mag spring

I purchased one of these 5 round kits for my Bergara Wilderness .308 ( which takes all Rem 700 accessories). It will function fine when you have 5,4, or 3 rounds in the mag . When you get down to the last 2 , the rounds WILL NOT pick up and go into the chamber. The spring is way too weak to even push the bullets high enough up into the mag for the bolt to catch the rounds. I had high hopes for this kit . It fit perfectly into the stock, and seemed to work well until you get to the last 2 rounds ( every time)

Failure to feed

I was hoping this would work because there aren't a lot of options for .22-250 detachable magazines. The magazine spring is too weak and the cartridges don't consistently feed.

Direct fit but poor quality.

Direct replacement. Fits well in my 700 with no modifications needed. Magazine release could be bigger, would make it a lot easier to release the magazine. I would give the magazine a half star rating. VERY CHEAPLY made and hardly any spring tension.

Fits nicely but poor quality.
