You can remove the bottom metal from you 111 DBM and use the magazine box and follower in a blind magazine stock. You have a center feed action, so you will need to find a way to hold the magazine box in place, since the magazine well is oversized in the older stagger feed after market blind magazine stocks. I believe Boyd's now makes a LA center feed stock. I am not sure if they have a groove cut so that you can use the L-clip.
This is how I did it:
I threw away the L-clip and decided to find a better way to position and hold the spring loaded blind magazine box in place so that it would not contact the action, or interfere with the bedding or accuracy potently. I taped the magazine box to action with a portion of a business card between for spacing. Next, I press 4 small balls of plumber epoxy putty into each corner of the magazine well and then press magazine taped to action into the putty (Remember release agent on metal). Remove before putty hardens completely (5 min) and any excess putty is easy to clean up and remove with a blade. This forms the base to hold the magazine in the correct position/height for reliable feeding. I then discovered I could put two wood screws in the grooves on the side of the CF magazine box and screw into bottom of the stock to hold spring loaded blind magazine firmly in place. Works like a charm to keep the spring loaded magazine box and follower from pushing up against the bolt and moving around in the oversize magazine well cut into after market stagger feed stocks.
