Legacy Sports Remington 700 Magazine Conversion Kit Part 1 

Note to viewers, this is a "re-edited" version of a video originally posted back in 2016. The re-post is due to the original being demonitized by YT. Thanks.

I did this conversion several years ago and it been absolutely flawless in operation since. Rem 700 SPS in 308.

Oh hey, I know the guys that molded this! They're a real solid bunch.

Funny was just thinking about this for my Remington 700 and googled it and there you were showing me how it’s done lol. The only other thing I would have like to see in the video would have been cycling the action with a couple of snap caps in the magazine.

Very interesting. I don’t own a Rem. 700 but it’s on my bucket list. Good video, Thanks

I just picked up a Howa mini action .223 with the Legacy magazines. If you look at the bottom plate you'll see two locking tabs where the follower restrictor has been inserted. Drill them out with a Dremel or similar, and heat the assembly with a heat gun to soften the adhesive. You can now lift the restrictor off the baseplate. My Howa mags now hold...9 rounds. Would have liked 10,, but this I can live with.

My story, Howa 1500 308, Howa 1500 243. Bought two of these Ammo Boost kits, one for each rifle. 308 floorplate cracked at back action screw before recommended torque. Sent it back. Took 2 weeks to get another. Went whitetail hunting November 2019, NE WA. Magazine cracked being dropped in SNOW at 28 degrees F. Floorplate cracked at both action screws. Had to drive 8 hours round trip to get my original blind mag floorplate. 243 kit went in without cracking...until...went yote hunting Jan 2020 Central WA, 34 degrees F. Floorplate cracked at front action screw and back screw, first shot at a yote, resting rifle on wooden fence post. The kits are crap. Look around, dozens of stories. Put an Oryx chassis on the 308, and CDI bottom metal on the 243. Both of the Legacy Sports kits cost me a combined 14 hours of lost hunting time, and around $200 in fuel, not to mention the cost of both kits and an extra mag. So easily a $600 lesson, which is about what I spent on the Oryx chassis and CDI bottom metal. Caveat emptor, ymmv.

I've got an extended floorplate by "Tactical Components LLC". I just checked, and it seems they are discontinued. At any rate, this allows me to fit 7+1 in the mag. That's 8 shots. It also just sticks down a bit, so I can still carry the rifle with no problem. Same feed characteristics and I'm overall happy with it. I don't like the single-feed mags as you cannot easily top off the mag. Very rarely am I running dry. I shoot once or maybe twice then top it off.

Got a "deal" on a 783, not a bad rifle but that four round mag is nuisance on range. I don't do combat style shooting (and hope I don't have occasion to do so) but a 10-round conversion would be nice. I watched and read the comments below - good thing because this conversion won't work for me. Your vid saved me a couple hundred bucks so thanks.

hey great video i,m saving up for a Remington 700 tactical heavy barrel in .223 with a Vortex scope

Nice little rig. Stuffing in loose rounds under a scope can be a bit annoying. Might just look into one for the 22-250.

The 10 round magazines on bigger calibers are NOT the same outer dimensions. I have both a 5 and 10 round magazine for a 270 and the 10-round mag is twice as long as the 5-round mag.

I ordered the same thing you have and the clips don't feed at all haven't been able to chamber one round as soon as the bullet hits the ramp the back of the round drops and the bolt goes right over it and will not push it out of the magazine

Will this work with the Magpul Hunter 700 stock?

I have one and I wish I spent the extra couple bucks and got the PTG. These mags are proprietary and cheap feeling. Like a thermold. They work, but replacement magazines are expensive and impossible to find.

Can you use aftermarket mags or do they only accept propriety mags?

Great explanation. You sound exactly like my CB radio repair guy, Mikes Radio Repair. I have watched every video he made. Just sayin.

plastic... yuck, im looking for brushed steel and cant find it!

Its hard finding a lot of info on these... i dont even have the gun yet (tomorrow) and have ordered the magpul stock and magazine kit for it. Problem is the .223 caliber. Magpul doesnt make (its coming) a .223 magazine to work with their own kits, cause it uses an AICS type magazine. There is another kit online for $129 that converts the Remington trigger guard to use actual AR magazines, but its hard to “GUESS” if its compatible with the magpul stock too. I guess the only way to know is to order it and try. Expensive gamble..

Where can you purchase spare .308 magazines for this conversion? I can't seem to find them online. Thanks!

For looks I prefer the silver, but I'm not looking to get involved with the Zulu wars of 1870s I might pick one up for my .308 tho. Thanks 😉

Does anyone know if this kit will fit on a Remington 700 SPS DM 30-06 (Long Action)

Not sure if anyone knows but I have a Bergara b14 and want to put a legacy sports magazine well on it. I know that that b14 is pretty much a copy of the 700 with some differences. I’ve read on some forums that the other bottom metals will not fit but I haven’t seen anything about the legacy sports magazine well. Anything helps!

I have this combination! In a 10 round the last two rounds have some problems getting to the top of the magazine and do not feed well all the time. I am disappointed!!!!!

Hi, I have a remington 700 police gen 2, with hs precision stock, do you think i can fit this conversion without modifying the stock ??? thanks

I will check to see if they make one for a 270 WSM

where in Canada did you buy this ?

I wonder if this would fit the 783

can you use a remington 700 LA trigger guard an detachable box mag for winchester model 70 30-06 ??

Does it work for both short and long action Remingtons?

Will it accept AR mags now?

So I have a remington 700 7mm08 and I ordered the appropriate kit and it wont fit...wtf

Without the magazine the magazine house still sticking out not flat like the factory

Great Video, will this work for HS precision stock ? Thanks

Do they make one for the rem 308?

Wonder if the magpul will work.

I did this conversion on my 700 BDL .270. One problem is the trigger guard seems to interfere with the button to release the bolt? Any suggestion to fix this?

Does this work in the bergara b14?

I am gonna order the ATIK5R3006REM I have the remington 700 adl. it's $69 off lagacysports.com I just hope it will work with my conversion.

Waste of money, jams most of the time, only works ok with on the bullet in the magazine. Distances measured as per fitting instructions

$118 is robbery.
