Thread: Rem 700 magazine well

Thanks.
From the picture in post #2, and your description, I have a suspicion the the previous owner may have removed the bottom plate and magazine well which has resulted in the rear of the well to seperate far enough for the spacer to fall clear of those retainer lugs.
I'll re-assemble it in the "correct" order.

Thanks all. Makes sense now.
