Remington Replacement Stock

edited April 2004 in Ask the Experts
I recently acquired a custom Remington 700 that has been rebarreled. I am having a hard time discerning if this was an ADL or BDL rifle. The stock has been refinished at least once, and the checkering on the stock is stamped/pressed into the wood. There is a black grip cap and black forend tip on the stock. I want to put a synthetic stock on this rifle, but I am not sure if I need a BDL or ADL stock, and are there really any differences between them? All ideas are appreciated.

    General rule of thumb on Reminton M-700:
    ADL will have simple triggerguard around trigger only and a blind magazine (no opening on bottom).
    BDL has a hinged floor plate attached to spring and follower.
    Big differance in trying to refit wrong stock.

    This rifle has the hinged floor plate. I think this is an older BDL action and stock, what has me worried is the stock is not like any of the current production BDLs that I have seen.
    Thanks.

    The stock you describe is from an early production Model 700. As long as your rebarreled rifle has the same barrel contour as the original barrel, a synthetic stock for a Rem Mod 700 BDL will fit it. Make sure you get a long or short action stock as appropriate to fit your action length. Also, you may have to replace the original triggerguard/floorplate screws with longer ones. These are available from Brownell's. Hope this helped. If you need more help with the stock replacement, shoot me a PM and I'll respond.

    The barrel on this rifle is a little heavier than a standard sporter barrel and it appears that the barrel channel on the stock has been modified to accomodate this. I am sure I will have to modify the barrel channel on what ever stock I use on this. Thanks for the helpful input.

    If/When you order a stock for this rifle,..before speaking to the salesperson, you will need to give them the contour of your current barrel. You need to measure the diameter at the recoil lug area (that round ring at the front of the action where the barrel is threaded in). It should probably be around 1.250" +/-. Then you need to detect wether there is a major change in the angle of the barrel contour within say the first 4-8". If this is so,..you need to measure the distance from the action that the barrel makes this pronounced lathe angle change. finally you will need to measure the diameter at the muzzle. That "contour measurement" will let the stock maker know which stock barrel channel you need. It may be close enough that a "varmint" barrel channel stock will do just fine without custom work or without a gunsmith needed to releive the barrel channel.
