There is no difference between the action itself between an ADL, BDL, SPS, or whatever other models there are ... Long story short, it's either a long action or a short action. The differences come in when you go from a blind mag to a hinged floor plate.

If you have a barreled action w/ a blind mag, and you want to move to a hinged floor plate, you can keep your bbl'd action and trigger, but you will need a new mag box, and the trigger guard assembly w/ the hinged floor plate. I"m not certain about the spring and follower, but would think you'd need them too. Likewise, if you're going from a hinged floor plate to a blind mag, you'll need to replace the same parts, but in the opposite direction as described above. From what I understand, it's a fairly simple process.


Brownells offers "Genuine Remington" ADL-to-BDL kits in their Catolog No. 57, with prices ranging from $122.51 to $135.55, depending on action length, finish, etc. The kits include triggerguard with hinged floorplate, magazine box, follower, and spring.


To err is human, so we can only hope that the pencil will wear out before the eraser does.
