so probably stupid question but can you convert the Remington model 700 AAC SD tactical rifle in 308 caliber to a clip fed gun? i really like external clips over internal.
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

The word is magazine, and yes you can.

This is a clip...

Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

ha ight we call it a clip around here ive said magazine to people i work with or go to school with i get some interesting looks until i say clip so thats my bad and how can i switch it i know i need a mag and prob a whole new trigger guard set up but where can i find it?
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

yea ive spent a few days hunting for stuff for my new gun but i keep getting stupid stuff but i figured id ask sniper hide what all id need knowing you guys pretty much know everything and anything about about every rifle out there and thanks for you help sir
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

also if i buy a standard magazine from like remington or a local shop will it fit? or don't you know i like to have about two mags per gun i also plan to hunt with this gun so i can just load 2 mags and go instead of worrying about loading my one in the woods and making a lot of noise
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

dude awesome gun but im 18 years old man i dont exactly have that kind of money for right about now im putting a barska 6-24x50 tactical scope a muzzle brake and some bolt work after that i need a new car maybe when i get a bit older and a better job ill get into that
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

Check out the PT&G DBM, I believe it goes for around 130$. Your also going to need to have a smith inlet your stock which costs around 75$. Last thing needed is a magazine which I am sure you can find used here on the hide and your all set.

Another option is Jeff at CDI Precision he can do all of the above and I have heard great things about his product.

good luck,

Ryan
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

yes, you can comvert you remington 700 to either clip or box magazine, it has been done for years. All it takes is money.
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

o and by the way dead noise i didn't ask for a smart ass prick i asked if i could convert my gun. thank you everyone else for your help dead noise maybe try and welcome new people i could be an anti gun bastard and try and take your guns away.
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

wasnt being a prick, was just stating a fact the difference between a clip and a mag. and your welcome to be a anti gun bastard if you would like thats your choice. btw are you asking for sympathy cause your a new guy?
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

all i was doing was showing you a picture to show you what the difference was between a clip and a mag, you said you wanted an external mag, just making sure you had the right facts

have a nice day
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

no sympathy wanted just tired of people on forums that spend their lives on here and act like a total fuck when someone new asks a question
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

with that attitude, you gonna fit well here.......

He is trying to feed you very accurate information with pictures to help you understand, so that you don't ask another question with the wrong terms. Learn to respect than calling names before you know what you are talking about.

Isn't that the reason you came to this place?

Hey, you're on a forum and bashing on people who try to give you useful information. The only one with a problem here is you. This is a place to gain information. If you're wrong about something people will correct you; if you're not mature enough to accept a mistake and correct it then you won't like it here or anywhere else for that matter... Now as for your initial post, if you did a bit of reading before asking, you would have noticed that, yes, it is possible and we could have saved ourselves from this mess. </div></div>

considering the first guy that corrected me i didnt say anything about because he wasnt being a smart ass and posting a picture i find that a little much telling me and posting a picture like a smart ass are two different things.
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

1.) Chill out. Someone corrected you. If you wish to learn, you must first admit you don't know everything.

2.) Use some punctuation.

3.) Personally, I would not invest in a DBM for the hogue stock that is on your rifle. You would be far better served investing that money in better glass and mounting hardware. The other option would be to invest that money if a better stock.
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

hey moose, im also new to this forum, but not to forums in general. you posted that you are young so i understand you getting defensive, but take it from someone older and who has been around people, and forums for many years.... get some thicker skin, it was pretty harmless for him to post the picture. i know some people on forums get real tired of the same old questions over, and over, and over, etc... but don't take it personal, its only the internet.
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

yea i no thecelt but i work retail i get enough of peoples BS at work i dont need it at home when im trying to relax. fdkay thanks for the advise and the $340 for the kit is insane for now i think im going to have to stick with just what i have and putting a muzzle break, bolt fluting and handle skeletonized (i no its pointless but i like the look) and a scope like i had planned being young i cant afford a lot at a time plus i need a new car and to take care of the gf ive kinda been neglecting her since i started buying mosins and building this gun
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

you can do anything to your AAC-SD that you can to a standard short action 700. mine currently has a B&C stock, wyatts detachable box magazine, 28in krieger chambered in 6.5CM, shilen trigger. really all thats left of the AAC-SD is the bolt and receiver.

i didnt have a mag in for this picture, but it has the wyatts DBM installed, it works well but i would spend a little more for something that uses better magazines if i were you.

and leave the guy alone for saying clip, sure he was incorrect and it gets on a lot of peoples nerves, but he is young and 90% of movies refer to them as clips. also, rap music. so cant blame him.
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

ok not to keep this going but, i wasnt being a smart ass, i was "very SIMPLY" showing you the difference between a Clip and a Mag. and it was much easier to copy and paste a img code then sit here and type the differences. so if that is your interpretation im sorry. have a good day.
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: moose93209</div><div class="ubbcode-body">ha thanks man what do u got in your gun total if u dont mind me asking? </div></div>
as in dollar amount? or specs? dollar amount would be $3754 roughly, that is including the price of the gun bought new and $700 for all the gunsmithing i just had done to it, and the vortex viper PST.

i am by no means wealthy and this has been a very LONG project and i got to enjoy shooting it as a .308 for a while so it really hasnt been that hard on my bank account.
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

FWIW, OP said the following in his second post seven minutes after his first post.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: moose93209</div><div class="ubbcode-body">ha ight we call it a clip around here ive said magazine to people i work with or go to school with i get some interesting looks until i say clip so thats my bad and how can i switch it i know i need a mag and prob a whole new trigger guard set up but where can i find it? </div></div>
I also associate with folks who use the word "clip" when other people use the word "magazine". Younger folk who do a lot of texting don't use thumb presses on punctuation and capitals like those of us who started out on manual typewriters before the Vietnam War heated up and had English teachers who'd put red circles around every error including "run on" sentences like this one.

But, it's also true that a lot of grizzled guys are on here, a thick skin is useful, and sometimes not responding is a simpler choice. Again,

Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

Moose I ain't trying to be a dick but you state you plan to hunt with this rifle. I have a few family members who live in PA and unless times have changed drastically the limit around Waynesboro is ONE deer. Now I do understand that not all of PA is guaranteed to be the same bag limits...so.
Most bolt guns will hold 4-5 rounds. If you have no other use for this rifle besides hunting you may be wasting your money that would be best spent on ammunition and practice, so you do not have to plan for the possibility of shooting till you hit something. I have never seen a whitetail that needed more than 2 shots from a suitable caliber to anchor him well, and I have killed many.
If you run a mag dry you can throw a single in the action faster than you can replace a magazine.
I opted for a magazine extension on my tactical rifle and quite frankly I love the thing. They are made for the Remington 700 and pin up replacing the floorplate and require no modification to the spring or follower. 20 bucks.
You don't need a magazine to have a great rifle.

+1

You can buy a hell of a lot of ammo for the price of a detachable bottom metal and a couple of spare mags for it.



I also wanted to point out. If you don't use the right terms, it makes it really hard to do a successful search on here. I'm not breaking your balls. But, by using the term "clip", the search would take you in a completely different direction. Now that you know what the items you are looking for is called, you will have much more luck searching for the info you need. There have been hundreds and hundreds of posts on this very subject. All the info is on the hide. I simple search for DBM or detachable bottom metal will bring it up.
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

You would be better served putting all your available funds to the best scope you can get.

And lighten up, Francis.
 
Re: can i convert the remington model 700 AAC SD

A kit to convert your rifle to be fed by detachable magazines is expensive. Figure at least $400 to cover all the costs. Is it worth it to you that much? If doing this is something you want to spend the money on, send your rifle to Jeff Allen at CDI Precision. Tell him you found him on snipershide and that your a young shooter and he might even give you a nice price on a setup. He's a super nice guy, and is who I purchased my first DBM assembly from. There are many other options available as well.
