converting a 700ADL to a BDL?

[lostsniper308]

?Is it possible to convert an ADL to BDL by adding like a magazine floor plate, and BDL stock too?
need a new stock and BDL stocks are more in circulation it seems

It is very easy to do. You can buy all the parts you need to do it from Midway USA. The only thing you dont need to buy again would be the follower spring, they are the same.

so would i need a BDL stock, floorplate, and follower? are the screws any different?

I wouldnt worry about the follower. Just the stock,floorplate,and screws. The mag box and follower are interchangeable.

  Don't forget, for many years all BDL's came with a nice leather sling + swivels too...

  I knew a gun shop in Alaska that use to pull them out of every box, and sell them for 10 bucks each...  When i bought my first "LH" 700 Rem. BDL,  i made a deal on it knowing that...  I haggled with him untill we agreed on the price, and then bought it...  Before leaving the store, i opened the box and said "where's the sling that comes with it?"  He said, "it doesn't come with a sling!!"  I pointed the end of the box toward him and said, "it says here that it does!"

  He pulled a sling off the hook where he had them hanging, gave it to me and said, "next time tell me that BEFORE we agree on a price"... ha ha ha

  It use to really erk me that he did that, and his customers didn't know any better...

The follower, spring, stock(of course), triggerguard/floorplate, and front screw are different.  I just did this using the parts that Brownell's sells as a kit.
