Gunsmithing Mag Conversion kit for a 700 in .223?

[MacTire]

I've done a few internet searches for this and i havn't been able to find any...Do they exist? I've bought a 700 VSF and i want to make a few changes, starting with a box mag! I know HS do them for a few calibres but not the .223.... Any help would be greatly appriciated guys...I've asked Firearm's Dealer's here in Ireland if they know of any, but no joy yet...
Cheers,
Mac

HS does have 223 mags for their bottom metal.

Seekins Precision has a .223 DBM also. Much better than HS.

Not sure, but I do know that he has 10 rounders in the works for most of his mags.

The AICS mags just became available in 223, get a badger M5 bottom metal and some AICS mags in 223 and you are good to go. and yes, they are 10 rounders!!

Years ago a guy named Mo Defina did an M16 mag conversion on Remingtons. I have no idea what became of him, or if anyone else ever offered this service. That would be the s**t, though.

I'm considering buying the Seekins mag setup for my Remington .223; it allows a very long OAL with your loaded ammo, too.

AICS like below or any bottom metal that uses AI mags:

Here are a few pics of the AICS for ya, the bullets are .223AI with 77gr SMK's seated to 2.340" for your reference(Sorry for the dog hair in the close up pic!):

Let me know if I can assist with anything.

Cheers,

Adam

Adam, do you have these in stock? I have a order for 4 in to Mile High and was just wondering if you had them in stock or when you expected them. Thanks buddy

We got a small batch of the mags in that are already spoken for on the group buy, the order filled all of my orders from March 2009 and part of April 2009... The next batch coming in next month will have enough to fill all of our orders hopefully.
