I just got a Hog Hunter in 223 for early Christmas gift it shoots great trigger great stock sucks. It is very had to load the box mag with a one piece scope rail on it. Does any anyone know if someone makes a relacement stock that will work with ar mag?

Not AR mag but you can get magazine option, I think
AICS makes a plastic center feed magazine for .223 that fits any short action bottom metal made for regular 308 size AICS mags.

I know they have conversions for Remington 700 and others so that might be the way to go

The reason it doesn't work with the AR15 mag is the bolt isn't going to reliably pickup from the dual feed magazine.
Mossberg makes MVP with a bolt that has a spring loaded lip to dip down and pick up the rounds.
