How much do you take off the bottom of the M700 ADL mag boxs to make them BDL? Rather be working on a mauser. Roll Eyes

The boxes are cheap sheet metal stampings.
Just trash the ADL box and and buy a BDL box.

I don't have one right now but if I remember correctly, the ADL box has notches at the front and the back on the bottom. Grind the box until those are gone, atleast that's what I remember doing.

John there are no notches on the M700 ADL. Thats on a M70 ADL style. That would have been too easy.

I figured it out. Went to ebay & looked at a pic of a BDL box. Big Grin The bottom of the ADL box is tapered, the BDL is not. Grind the taper away till the sides are parallel. Five minutes on the grinder. Done deal.
