Winchester 70 question

This weekend I picked up a good Winchester push feed Model 70 for a couple hundred bucks. It has a synthetic stock with a blind box, sort of like a 700 ADL. I have a nice stock I would like to put it in, but it is for the factory hinged floorplate.

Can I buy hinged bottom metal and move on, or do I need to buy a new mag box as well like an ADL to BDL conversion?

Thanks in advance.

Great deal. I think you will need a mag box; check Numrich.

on all my post-64, push feed m70's, other than length, there is no difference in the mag box, between blind magazines or floorplate models... at least on mine, that is... there is a small "letter" stamp on the box that corresponds to the length.... I have several extra's, if you don't find what you need, measure your cartridge lenght and i may have it...
