I've done some searching and am only finding people converting the rotary mag guns over to accept pmags. I'm looking to go the opposite way. I carry this thing across my back through the brush, and the pmag makes it mighty uncomfortable. Any of you folks know of a stock/mag well conversion kit that uses the factory style rotary mag, or some type of flush mag? I'm using a 5 round pmag, but still don't like it. My son has a ranch youth model with a 5 round detachable flush mag and I really like that style. Thanks for any help!!

Surely you can find someone who wants to swap…

Can’t help with the RAR, but I sympathize. Been using trekking poles of late due to a bum knee and slinging various death-dealing instruments across my back. Maybe one of those Frankenstud thingys might let you safely sling it over one shoulder instead, assuming you wear a pack of some sort.

Just looked and the rotary mag for .223 is supposed to work for .300 BO, but the reviews are pretty bad. I suppose you’d need a different stock as well. ShopRuger doesn’t list those, but shouldn’t be too hard to find. Still, a lot of expense that might not function to your satisfaction.

That was my thought assuming stocks are the same. Post a swap or want to buy ad in the classified section maybe?

Man, I wish I could try that for you and see if the stock swap works but I am stuck away from home.

The rotary mag that came with the 300 BLK I sold my best bud works fine though, neither of us has ever had a problem with it.


I'm with you on much preferring the handling of the rotary mag versions.

I run my bear dogs up on Nathaniel all the time. Love that place. Bear are few and far between up there anymore though.

I have the same rifle with the rotary mag and I've always kicked myself I didn't get the one that accepts P Mags... I'd swap if it works.

We have some from time to time here in Jefferson County. There’s a real brute hanging around about 6 miles away over in Clarke County, VA. Neighbor hunts there and put a kiddie pool in the ground under his stand. Gets night pics all the time of the bear futzing around in it. A non-res VA tag comes very dear, so he’s just lookin’. I keep hoping to run into one on my local WMA so I can decide if I really want one, or just think I do.😛

Good luck with your quest.
