I'm looking at buying a new 700 short action. Finding a new original mag box, floor plate, spring and follower seems to be impossible. So I decided to go detachable box mag hardware.
Who makes a good system that the trigger guard is metal and not plastic?

PTG, Midwest Gunworks, Brownell's, or Midway USA for OEM/Clone parts and Wyatt's for good bottom metal and DBM.

I just installed a kiwi klip system in mine. No extra in letting necessary just dropped in.

If you decide to go back to regular bottom metal and mag I'd just get a used bottom metal or new all steel bottom metal and Wyatt's magbox. Since it's a new action maybe even get it worked on to extend the magbox length.

I just got sticker shock! I can buy a whole new SPS rifle for the cost of the components. Probably go that route and tear it down. Thanks.

I'm curious why you'd need to source a new mag box, floor plate, etc. on a new rifle? Or are you just buying a new action?

Stocky's, Red Hawk Rifles, Wyatt's box if you need extra length
