I have a &mmRem Magnum that I built up about 20 yrs ago using the Brown pounder stock. Good stock, nice & light and holds zero forever. It has a blind Mag that I wanted at the time because the rifle stayed loaded for days on end.
However now I rarely use it . I have artificial knees and rarely venture more than 1/2 mi from some type of motorized transportation and I am finding loading and unloading multiple times in the day is a PITA.
Over the years I've done 4 including converting one for a 600 to a left handed bolt.

Questions. Can I change to a drop floor plate I have the bottom metal but feel that would be very frustrating
to inlet and clean up all the kevlar fibers that spring out at you. Is there an easier way to do this now??

Or I can remove the stock to sell it and put a Boy'ds on it. Seeing as I don't venture fare the weight is not much of a handicap any more.

Thinking seriously of the second option do you know if the ADL style mag box works for the BDL floor plate assembly

I'd like opinions that have tried this and by the way what is the Brown pound stock worth now roughly. It's for a left handed Remington Magnum.

Thanks in advance.

FWIW I just finished doing what you propose, putting a hinged floorplate in a Brown stock, 6.5 Gibbs. I haven't painted it yet, but the inlet and fiberglass took about 2 hr. maybe a bit more. Liquid resin takes care of any fibers, I used autobody stuff thinned with acetone to paint the area a few times then finished up with bondo. I reused the pilars from the front and rear bolts. What you have is a lot better hunting stock than a Boyd's. I like Boyd's but not for this app. My Gibbs on a skeleton 700 weighs about 6 lb. empty. Good luck, Mark
 
Was this the kevlar pounder stock or the fiberglass that you did. If the Kevlar what did you use to cut it out. I remember converting a Rem 600 stock for a left handed bolt and used a dremel tool I had fuzz sticking up all over the place and had to epoxy it about 4 or 5 times and grinding it back down after it cured.
