Description
If you're running the Magpul Hunter 700L stock and you're tired of the internal box and hinged floorplate, this magwell fixes that in an afternoon. The Magpul MAG489-BLK swaps out your OEM bottom metal for a reinforced polymer trigger guard and magazine well, giving your rifle detachable box mag capability without any custom inletting or fitting the stock. It's built specifically for the long-action Hunter 700L and takes .30-06 class AICS-pattern magazines, which is the same proven pattern found on serious precision and hunting rigs everywhere.
What the MAG489-BLK Brings to Your Hunter 700L
The whole point here is speed and simplicity in the field. Pull the OEM bottom metal, drop this in, and you've got quick mag changes instead of feeding rounds one at a time or wrestling a floorplate with cold hands. The oversized trigger guard was designed with gloves in mind, and it clears most factory and aftermarket curved triggers. The magazine release is a low-profile ambidextrous design made from Melonite-treated steel, so it resists wear and corrosion while staying snag-free when you're moving through brush or in and out of a truck.
Feeding the 700L Magwell
This kit ships with one Magpul PMAG 5 AC L, a five-round magazine sized for the .30-06 based family of cartridges. Because it uses the AICS long-action pattern, you're not locked into a single magazine source down the road. A note worth mentioning: triggers with longer or straight bows may need a little clearance work, and since receiver dimensions can vary slightly from rifle to rifle, a small amount of fitting is occasionally needed for the smoothest function.
Made in the USA from Magpul's reinforced polymer, it keeps weight down while holding up to real hunting and range abuse. For anyone building out a Hunter 700L, this is one of the most practical upgrades you can make.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the MAG489-BLK magwell require gunsmithing to install?
For most rifles it's a straightforward drop-in that just needs the OEM bottom metal removed from the Hunter 700L, with no custom inletting. Because receiver dimensions can vary a little between rifles, a minor amount of fitting is occasionally needed for the best function. If you're comfortable with basic stock work, you can usually knock this out at home.
What magazines work with the Magpul Hunter 700L magwell?
It's built for AICS-pattern long action magazines in the .30-06 based family of cartridges. The kit includes one Magpul PMAG 5 AC L to get you started, and because it uses the widely available AICS pattern, you have plenty of options for additional or higher-capacity mags later.
Will this magwell work with my aftermarket trigger?
The trigger guard is oversized to accept most factory and aftermarket curved triggers, and it's roomy enough to run with gloves. Triggers with longer or straight bows may need a little clearance work to fit properly, so check your specific trigger before installing.
What stock does the MAG489-BLK fit?
This magazine well is designed specifically for the Magpul Hunter 700L long-action stock and replaces its OEM bottom metal. It is not intended for short-action stocks or other chassis systems, so make sure you're running the Hunter 700L before ordering.
