Looking to upgrade the stock on my older Top bolt release flat rear base long action receiver.
Will a long action center feed stock work?
How about long action stock with detachable box magazine?
Buddy has a 220 slug gun stock, will that work?
Sorry are all the questions.
TIA

Yes you can use a LA Centerfeed stock, but you will have to modify the front of the magazine inlet in the stock for the blind magazine to fit. Trying to make a Staggered feed action into a DBM will take some machining on the bottom of the action, if I remember correct. I've never tried it.
Here's some pics of the stock I put on one of my old Staggered feed LA's.
You can see how much stock material that needs to be cut out at the front of the mag well -

Just used some wood chisel's and a Dremel tool to do it -

The magazine box fits just fine -

Finished product after finishing the outside of the stock with 10 coats of hand rubbed Tung Oil.
