is it actually possible to take a bdl or adl stock and make it useable with the remington factory detachable magazine? this guy makes it seem like a very simple task. i like the the remington flush fit magazine, but its hard to find a good stock for them. if i could get a bdl stock, and take a file to it without hurting it, it would be nice. i asked the seller, here is what i got in return:

You have to widen the mag box area to the same size as the floorplate, this will not be noticeable from exterior. You have to notch the edges 1/4 x 1 3/8 inch for the locking tabs to seat. This will be permenant and will be noticeable from exterior if you go back to BDL. Most people buy a second stock and inlet that one. You can find plenty of composite or even perfect never used take-offs here on Ebay. Good Luck!

sound like a good idea to anyone?

Sure. Get one of the take-offs. Alternately, if you order a custom stock you may be able to get it done by the factory if they have the necessary pattern.

thanks, but how likely is it that i would damage the stock? i would not want to mess it up. how should i go about getting it to fit?

We have done those conversions. There are time consuming and difficult for evenfolks who have experience in stock making.
