You want to go from BDL to ADL?
You will need a stock, trigger guard, front trigger guard screw, a magazine box, and a magazine box screw.
To go from ADL to BDL, you must alter the stock, inletting for the BDL trigger guard assembly, obtain a BDL trigger guard assembly, change the magazine box.

The mag box on the adl is deeper then the bdl.

Why not just do what most guys do in this situation and inlet the B&C Ti stock for the BDL bottom metal,..it's a dead simple job. I've done it a couple times and it doesn't add weight as you might think,...by the time you add in the large steel escutcheon under the front screw, the extra screw for the front of the trigger guard and the deeper mag box, it's a wash....it will weigh the same whether it's done up as a BDL or an ADL,..been there more than once.

Rembo how do you cut it out???

I drill 1/8" holes all around the edge of the magwell about an 1/8" apart from the inside to the outside..then cut between with a very sharp knife...smooth out the edges with a rasp. remove the front escutcheon( the large washer under the front screw). You have to inlet between the trigger guard inlet and the mag box inlet also.
