I have a Rem 700 ADL 270 Win I am wanting to convert to a BDL. I know I will need a new stock and bottom metal. I was wondering if I need a new mag box, follower and spring. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Peter.

Re: Converting ADL to BDL
you will need a BDL box, the follower and spring are GTG though. I read a post somewhere about modding an ADL box for the use but its been a while. The ADL box is a tid bit deeper from what I remember.

Yes, you would need to cut the bottom of the mag box a little bit. IIRC, the cut needs to be tapered from back to front taking more off the back portion. It is considerably easier to just but the bdl mag box. I did this before and it was a pain.
Here is the new box. LINK

OK then thanks for the info guys. Gotta start looking for parts. It is my deer rifle and didn't want to mess with it till the season was over. Thanks again, Peter.
