The Remington action that uses this mag is different then a common BDL or ADL. The feed rails of the action have been removed to allow this mag to work, once this is done you can't go back to BDL. So even if you find the bottom metal, most get thrown in the trash and replaced with a better option, you will still need to mod the action.
One other thing, the stock is different as well.

Better to seek an HS bottom metal for near drop in fit, or go with one of the DBM's using the AICS mags. If you want that system cause you can get the mags cheap you might as well E-bay the mags if you have them and step up to somthing a bit more useful.
Also as stated above once you go to the Rem DBM system you gotta really mod your action and you can not go back to a BDL or ADL setup.

I agree with the others if you don't already have a gun set up for it, I would go another route

I thought about going that same route but was told that the stock Remington system was not as good as the aftermarket bottom metal.
The stock metal has feeding issues.

No it's not, they still have rifles with this set up just not as many as they once did.

Re: Remington bottom metal question
Well depending on what you want, I highly suggest going with the Badger Ordinance M5 bottom metal as to they are quality and if the USMC can trust them I can too lol but going with the M5 option will require some minor in-letting and when i say minor I do mean minor
