Like the title says, can the FN/Win 70 action be adapted to use AW mags? I've seen the Guardian magwell cuts for the Rem 700 type actions and didn't know if something like that would work for the FN.

No it can not been there tried it with Jeff at CDI.The problem is controlled feed the rounds can't strip left and right and still slip up under the extractor.

In addition, even if the bolt could handle something other than center feed, there is not enough room to accomodate the magazine in the machined magwell on the bottom of the receiver because the mechanical ejector is in the way.

If you like the staggered mag, but can tolerate the center feed, try the Morta mags in a CDI bottom metal. The Morta's are shorter than AICS, though not as short as an AW.
