Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Converting a McMillan Hunters Edge model 70 to a blind magazine

Nicely done! -Al

I do a lot of work on composite/fiberglass stocks.
I've converted HS Det Mag stocks to BDl and ADL.
I've converted left hand to right hand, done adjustable combs and repaired KS stock that someone tried to make into a BDL, returning it back to ADL.
I'm working on converting a Beretta Mato to fit a Rem 700 ADL long action.
Good thing about fiberglass is, if you don't like it, grind it out and do it over.
Here are a few pictures

After getting the outside built up with layers of cloth and resin, I put a layer on the inside



Here are a few pics of the Beretta






Here's the link to an adjustable comb I did on a HS stock

Beautiful work.

Pathfinder: Is the magazine spring anchored or located in any way?

Reason I ask is that I've got a pre-64 in a Bansner stock, ADL style. Feeding is mostly good but sometimes there is a hiccup. I'm wondering if it's because the magazine spring can float around/shift position against the inside of the stock. Played with various springs and followers, which sort of seemed to help, but thinking of trying to locate the base of the mag spring with an epoxy pad.

So sort of wondering how your guy handled it...

You can get a magazine spring locator from the old model 670. Check eBay. That will do the trick.

Thanks Brad. Much appreciated.

Edit: Numrich has them. On the way. Thanks again.

Great! That’s where I got mine… didn’t occur to me they’d still have any.

Mine is located with a bit of a well to prevent movement fore and aft.
