The Birth ControllerOT ... ADL - BDL
I've looked quite a few places for what these letters stand for ...
Yeah, I know - Blind Magazine and Hinged Floorplate

... but what words are being substituted?
Also ... is it possible to modify - use a BDL barreled action in an ADL stock?
TIA

Most BDL magazines don't have the tab at the rear for the small machine screw like ADL's, but this is really irrelevant for converting. Spring & follower are the same on the ADL & BDL, I am pretty sure.
George Gardner modified/machined a few Rem 700 ADL magazine boxes for me not too long ago - I think he gets somewhere between 5&10 dollars, including shipping.
Don't have a clue as to what the abbreviations 'ADL' & 'BDL' stand for.
Hope this helps,
