Short answer, yes, just a simple bottom metal swap and internal box mag on a few makes. Some mfr detatchable bottom metal vs their hinged floorplate will have a different inlet.
Well its do to the fact my brother is haveing porblems with his 700p and he would like hinged floorplate. Spending all the money on a custom dbm is not an option. I told him just to sale it.

Nope, cant be done. All factory Remington drop mag rifles have the internal mag lips machined off, so he is pretty much stuck with either the factory unit, or he as to go with a Badger M5 or the like.
Are we talking about the Rem MLR 338Lapua? because thats the only 700P that I know of that comes with a drop mag system.

Ill tell him to call or i will just buy it and buy the badger myself. Its a 308 with the 26inch heavy barrel. Whats the cost to have this installed. Im not getting out the dremel.
