So many rifle owners want the reliability and strength of a metal magazine for their rifle. But now days, they want more - larger capacity, longer OAL and long wearing. AND, they don't want to make modifications to obtain their needs. Waters Rifleman may be able to help...allowing shooters to achieve a complete magazine solution. - Many solutions and designs are drop in fit, meaning no modification require (refer to each instance for confirmation on this). - Made of light weight aircraft grade billet aluminium, hard black anodised (not regular decorative anodise) finish (may be some variation in colour from batch to batch). - Can be disassembled for easy cleaning and maintenance (recommended). - Reliable tempered Stainless Steel coil spring activating a POM injection moulded OR an or ABS printed follower. - Deep side wall followers to reduce tipping and jamming (stove piping) and increase reliability. - Extended length internals (where possible) to allow longer rounds with longer bullets or bullets seated out further (eg. 223 loading 80 grain projectiles out to the lands).
FIT & FUNCTION: These magazines are made for the fastidious shooter that wants the BEST match grade AND MATCH WINNING magazine available. Likewise, shooters of the Waters Rifleman mags are expected to have a basic understanding of how magazines work - understanding tolerances, temperature change, round stacking geometry, etc. This is precision equipment, and precision equipment should be maintained.

DOESN'T FIT. There have been the odd occasion where a shooter magazine will not latching/clicking in place easily. We believe this is due to an intolerance of the rifle stock during moulding, or possibly swelling from moisture, or by over tightening of the stock take-down screws, or a number of other things. Also, some shooters are bedding their receivers, which increases the receiver height from the floor of the stock. Our mags are made to factory spec plus or minus 0.1mm, and from billet aluminium that won't suffer post machining change. If the magazine is too tight to latch, Click here for WR MAGAZINE ASSEMBLY and MAINTENANCE USER GUIDE.
TIGHT IS BEST: Ensuring a tight and solid fit keeps your repeater rifle close in performance as a bolt action single shot rifle. Tight and solid assembly and fixing keeps harmonic vibration even through the whole rifle system, and helps dampen the vibration quicker and minimise vibration intensity spots.
MARKING AND SACRIFICE: WR magazines are made of metal. Metal on metal will always result in witness marks. Use of the WR mag will result in witness marks on the aluminium magazine body. This is always going to happen, and is preferred to protect undue wear in the more expensive rifle receiver. The sacrificial wear areas are the front latch tang, rear top flat where mating the trigger front tension leaf spring, and the top rear pivot corners. Witness marks can be marked over with black.

REMINGTON 700 SHORT ACTION - WR FLOORPLATE, BOTTOM METAL (DBM), TRIGGER GUARDFOR CONVERSION TO AI / AICS SHORT ACTON PATTERN MGAZINES FLOORPLATE BOTTOM METAL (DBM), TRIGGER GUARDOne of the ORIGINAL makers of this conversion (since 2001). Used extensivly for 223, 243, 6.5CM, 260 Rem, 7/08 and 308..First developed in 2001, along with the LA version, this SA unit ceased production in 2008. Surprisingly, the market is again calling for this solution in 2023, thanks to the large release of many clone Rem 700 pattern receivers. We listened, and here it is again.Made of aluminium billet. Hard black anodised finish.Specfically made for Rem 700 owners to create a detachable drop mag soluiton using cheaper correct dimension AICS pattern magazines.This unit fits factory Rem 700 Short Action rifles that have a removable DBM. If your rifle is full wood without a removable DBM, then you will need to open up the stock or get another stock.This should be a drop in fit to a standard rifle - no modifications required. Takes minutes to install. Note, this is made to encourage a tight fitting magazine - to minimise AICS rattle (typical with AICS setups). If the magazine does not clip in, it is likely a tenth of a mm to trim - which is very easy to do with a small fine file.
Note on magazines: Suggest, not advice, to use WR AI SA mgazine variety, or MDT metal or MDT poly (only) magazines. Many SA AICS pattern magazines are not made to correct dimensions or tolerance and may require work - feel free to check with us. PN: 1041, Price A$170ea. SOLD OUT. (IN REDEVELOPMENT) ETA APRIL 2025.

REMINGTON 700 LONG ACTION - WR FLOORPLATE, BOTTOM METAL (DBM), TRIGGER GUARDFOR CONVERSION TO AI / AICS LONG ACTION 3.715" MAGAZINES. *** DROP IN FIT - no modifications needed***Similar story to the Short Action version, this unit has been brought back into demand due to the many aftermarket Rem 700 clone rifles made today.
Made of aluminium billet. Hard black anodised finish.
Specfically made for Rem 700 owners to create a detachable drop mag soluiton using cheaper correct dimension AICS pattern magazines.
This unit fits factory Rem 700 Long Action rifles that have a removable DBM. If your rifle is full wood without a removable DBM, then you will need to open up the stock or get another stock.

Note on magazines: Suggestion ( not advice) to look at using MDT 3715 all metal magazines, or a magazine equal to this. The MDT all metal 3715 magazine is what we used for testing. It performed the best and we found any adjustments to be easy.
