Remington 700 Lucky 13 removable mag kit

I just picked myself up the new Rem 700 mag conversion kit.
I fitted it up tonight and so far I'm pretty happy

I've run 3 loaded mags through it with no feeding issues at all so I'm looking forward to giving it a go this weekend.
I had to shim it with 2 of the 4 supplied shims as the bolt was marking up the rounds on the mag pretty bad.
It feeds a lot smoother with the 2 shims in.

Nice, been eyeing of one myself.

Just not sure about that "step" in the magazine, looks like it's not seated correctly.

But there is not a lot of options for DBM without having to inlet the stock so I reckon I'll give it a go.
Are they single stack mags?

Yes it is a single stack mag.
The mag is a little loose and since I shimed the base metal if the mag is sitting as low as possible I had a little bit of feeding issues.
I'm thinking about taking out the shim and seeing how
that goes.
