Run AR Magazines in your Rem 700 Bolt Gun
How’d you like to run AR-15 Mags in your Rem 700 bolt gun? Sound far-fetched? Well think again. Pacific Tool and Gauge has developed a unique bottom metal system for Rem 700 short actions that works with standard AR-15 mags, providing reliable function with .223 Rem (5.56x45mm) rounds. The AR-mag compatible Rem 700 Bottom Metal costs $129.00 by itself, or $149.00 with a C-Products 10-round magazine.
The system works with straight 5-round, 10-round, and 20-round metal mags as well as larger, angled 30-round metal mags. (Because they are thicker, Magpul mags and other polymer magazines do not work with this PT&G bottom metal system.)
At SHOT Show, Dave Kiff showed us the AR-Mag compatible bottom metal. “It took a lot of time to get the geometry just right, but we’re proud of this product”, Dave said. A PT&G exclusive, this special bottom metal as been designed to fit in all Remington 700 standard factory stocks right off the shelf with minimal inletting. This bottom metal features a handy mag release button incorporated into the side of the bottom metal (this is more reliable and secure than a mag release in the trigger guard).
Slight Modification Required During Installation
Customers purchasing this bottom metal will need to modify their Rem 700 actions very slightly, to create a little extra clearance. The Feed Bevel (left photo) needs to be opened to 0.660″, while the mag well needs to be opened to 0.900″.

Armalon Limited in the UK has been making such bottom metal for the 700PSS and VS models to accept either the M14 magazine (308 Etc) or AR-15 (223) for over 25 years.

This does not look like minimal fitting to me.

The link you provided is to an offering of an “extensively reworked” Rem 700 rifle. I find nothing to suggest they are offering a kit of any sort for sale, in fact they primarily describe themselves as a broker. Do they offer a kit? Do they export it to the US? If so, do they have a US importer and reseller?
New post on an old article…….It is very easy to install and works perfectly with C-Products mags. Very impressed with the product, less impressed with the company extremely slow to ship.
is this available for a .308 700, perhaps? Or in the works?
Will this work with timney triggers?
