A friend of mine has ordered the stainless detachable magazine and floor plate from HS Precision but he also wants a standard non detachable all steel bottom metal magazine for Rem 700. The Williams web site is indicating that to use theirs he would need to get an ADL magazine and also some fitting of the floor plate to a stock. Does anyone know where to get an all steel bottom metal for Rem that does not require fitting or ADL magazine. Thanks. Mike | ||

Most if not all after market floor plates will need fitting, including the H.S. And most of them will not be available in S.S. He could have a ADL magazine welded or silver soldered to a steel floor plate like a Mauser. I'm just wondering why he would want to switch them ? Dakota Badger Ordinance Williams DD Ross Sunny Hill These are listed in the #55 Brownels catalog. Someone here might know were to get another brand that will drop in. There might be little difference between the 2 if he can live with a little gap in the inletting. | |||

Post and APB here for Matt Williams and ask him. Or, give him a phone call. I think the phone number is on the web site www.williamsfirearms.com | |||

To date  no one makes a drop-in replacement for a Model 700 short or long action. We utilize the ADL magazine box because it allowed us to machine the rail of the trigger guard assembly out of thinner material, and reduced the complication of the machining so that we could keep the cost down to a reasonable limit. That bottom metal was more or less made for McMillan several years ago while trying to upgrade their M40-A1. It kind of took off from there. We have plans for a drop-in 700 bottom metal assembly in the near future that will be made from a drop-hammer forging. This will be used in conjunction with our line of new actions that will replicate in most ways the Remington 700. When the actions become available, we will sell the bottom metal seperately. All of this will be somewhere around 9 months or more down the road, so I don't want to get anyones hopes up yet.  | |||

I'm in the middle of engraving one of Matt's triggergaurds, as we speak. It's as nice a gaurd as I have seen and at a reasonable cost. | |||

Quote: We haven't given up on the Winchester-style receiver. It will actually be the first that we will produce, but in the process of getting that one up and going, we will also be making a Remington clone for the other spectrum of customers that are out there. All told, we will be producing seven different action lengths an styles. Our Remington-style receiver will be a little easier on the pocket book, retailing out at $600.00. It will drop into a factory Remington stock, use all Remington components, less a couple that weren't that good anyway and utilize the same scope mount holes and spacings.All actions will be blueprinted and come complete with 3 position safety shrouds, custom triggers, machined stainless shrouds, M16 extractor, and our all-steel bottom metal. Bolt release will be mounted on the left side for a right-handed rifle. Clipslotting will also be available upon request. When we have a few more details, we'll be posting all the pics and updates right here on this forum. | |||

Quote: Thank you for the kind words Scrollcutter. Coming from someone with your expertise, that is truely a compliment. I would love to see the finish product when you get it done. So many times we make parts and never get to see the end result of our hard work. It's always nice to admire the big picture every once in a while. | |||
