Increasing the mag capacity of a MRC
Is there anyway you can increase the magazine capacity of a MRC 458 Lott from 3 to 4? Does anyone make different bottom metal?


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Good question; wish I knew the answer but if it is indeed a M-70 clone and the hole spacing matches, I would think any Winchester M-70 bottom metal from Sunny Hill or CNC would work.

I am guessing from Jeffeosso's comments this would require extensive stock work?
My rifle is built with a McMillan stock.

PS. I should of just bought the LH Dakota action as it holds 4 down Mad

Yup. The box hangs below the stockline. On a synthetic that can be handled by building up the bottom and repainting. Impossible to do on a wood stock and still look like anything good.

The only other option and not a cheap one would be a one-of-a-kind pocket floorplate like Jim Wisner makes for the CZ 550 magnum.
