Remington 700 SPS (308) to take m14 mags.

[slacker11201]

Hey,

Does anyone know a gun shop around Edmonton that could alter the R700 SPS to take a mag designed for the M14? or if this is even possible?

I was sure I read a thread on her awhile ago about a guy whose R700 that took m14 mags.

Thanks,
Tyler.

slacker11201 I tried to PM you but for some weird reason I can't.

Can some legal beagle clarify the legality of that for me? An M-14 magazine that is used in a bolt actioned rifle would still have to be pinned at 5, no?

 

[Merllin]

^^^ Yep...

 

[tiriaq]

M-14 5/5 or 5/20 magazines are available. Other conversions use AIA, AI or HS magazines which are catch as catch can, and pricey. From that standpoint, a M-14 conversion has some merit, although the limit would be 5 shots. If AIA magazines would fit and function, there would be a 10 shot option.
There were US 'smiths doing M-14 conversions on 700s, for US NM shooting. These tended to use the rock and latch system, just like a M-14, so required rather extensive modifications to the receiver, stock and bedding.

My 700 takes highly modified M14 mags yes.It was a totally custom job and took Grens Vegter about 10-12 hours to complete.Since then he has been doing custom jobs with AIA .308 enfield mags.No need for pinning there.Readily availiable and pretty easy to get.
