M-70 mag box question

I have a M-70 in 338 WM. I have been looking all over the internet, but cannot find a source for a 3.6" magazine box. I know you can take the spacer out of the factory one, but I just want to buy a replacement and follower.

I have also seen the wyatt magazine box that will let you go to 3.8". I don't want to go that route because the reciever needs to be machined, and if I understand correctly I will need a new one piece bottom metal as well since the middle bolt won't be used. Thank you, Travis.

Numrich had the last ones I bought.

The middle screw can be used with either box.

Did you look at Midawy and Brownels? They carried them in the past.

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

Assuming it is a post '64 M70, look at the box Duane Weibe offers.
