[QUOTE="bocephus1963, post: 1043361, member: 84023"] So.....I posted this on the 7mm STW forum and it was suggested I ask here. I have a Remington 700 SS DBM in 7mm STW and I wanted to convert it to BDL. I acquired a stainless bottom metal, spring and follower, and mag from a factory take-off in .300 mag along with the stock. I installed my barreled action to the BDL stock and bottom metal and everything fit perfect, but the shells won't stay in place. The first round goes in fine but as soon as I try to put in the second round all the shells pop out. I thought maybe the follower for a STW might be different, but another member mentioned he thought the receiver for a DBM was actually different from a BDL receiver and that it couldn't be converted. Is this the case? Everything fit together it just won't keep the shells in the mag. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
