Accurate Action has their Kwik Klip system, that's a drop in kit and the kit comes with a single 5 round mag, no in-letting needed. Wolverine Supplies carries the badger ordnance bottom metal kit (not sure if mag is included), this one requires in-letting your stock. They have another obscure bottom metal kit that does not include a mag, not sure about that one though, looks like it requires additional parts.
They're nice but way overpriced, there's just too many others out there that are half the cost.
If you can find them, the HS Precision is basically a drop in for the Remington BDL as well (first generation anyway, not sure about second). The mags fit well with less play than the AI style that I have on other rifles (Badger, PTG and one for a Tikka- can't remember brand). This shows the 10 rd. mag.

That's the most content deprived website in the industry. All I wanted to know, is it drop in and accepts AI mags?

Having installed a few, NO they are NOT a drop in, there is not only re-inletting of the stock required but also minor modification required to the action.
That being said the same is true for our own in-house made DBM kit as well as badger. All of which employ the AICS mags.
I have a badger ordnance bottom metal that takes single stack AI mags for mine. Bought it from Jerry Teo at Mystic Precision for just under $200. The magazine does rattle a bit though. But to fix that all I did was put a layer of hockey sock tape (electrical tape works too) around the mag where it would contact the bottom metal. Voila, the magazine rattle is gone. I could have purchased a 'better machined' bottom metal with tighter tolerances and not have to put tape on my mags, but tape is under $5 and a tighter tolerance bottom metal is under $500. I am no mathematician, but I think $5 + $200 is less than $500.
PT&G now has a "drop in" bottom metal kit for the rem700, I believe it uses a AI AE mag.

I don't think that the Kwik Klip is a drop in for short action 700s. Just LA.
Atlasworx from australia makes a very nice bottom metal that uses ai mags for short action remmies. Excellent quality, easy shipping and only minimal inletting that handy folk can do by hand.
I did it and prefer it by far over the very overpriced options already mention. I'll pay for quality, but not gouginess.

I can second the quality of the Atlasworx bottom metal. They also anodize in silver so it matches the 5R barrel and action. I haven't inlet mine yet but it doesn't look like much material needs to be removed.
I installed a PT&G in one of my competition rifles, which uses the AICS pattern magazine. This was not a drop in - lots of inletting required. Works well.
If they make a newer version that is a drop in, great.
Another option you might consider is a MDT TAC21 chassis system, or their new LSS.
Does your Remington have a HS stock?

The Atlasworx was $150 or delivered. No magazine included but it came with new action bolts and bedding posts. I know it is available in Black and silver (they may call it grey) but they may do custom colours because they are basically an aluminum shop.
I had ptg sitting and waiting but I just sold it because I realized that with the cost of the bottom metal + the cost of the new stock + the inlet I might as well throw in a little more and go with a tac 21. I've drooled over that chassis for over a year and its almost a reality, the chassis should be on its way!
There is also the Wyatt bottom metal that I used a few years back for my HS precision that was inletted for a standard Remington BDL. They use a propriety magazine box, but it is of good quality and works well.
