They take alpha mags as well. Talked to Dave for a bit that information has been verified by several customers.
Excellent, thanks for the tip.
I had been waiting for some bottom metal to jump out at me, and well this it.
Before this thread popped up, I had started to search for a definitive M700 DBM Compare & Contrast thread.
PTG M5 style DBMs have received good reviews, if I'm not mistaken. And considering they accept the standard (AI/AW) mags, this definitely looks like a steal.
My order is placed, its too bad 5rd .308 mags are so scarce.

Midway has 5 Rd AI 308 Mags in stock.At least they did a few hours ago.I think they were around $66.00

^^^Thanks guys.
As soon as I typed that out, I looked at midway to see how much I saved on the metal, and sure enough- .308 AI mags right there in the Recommended Products box.

Glad I could help...not fair keeping the good deals to myself.
Thanks for the tip, I picked two up. Great deal.
Nice find!
If it were me, I'd wait and order a stock that can pre-fab'd with the M5 inlet.
Do you already have a stock purchased?
For example, I won't be trying to inlet my Hogue stock to accept the M5 (though possible); rather, I'll be holding onto the PTG metal until I'm ready to order a stock that will come inlet for the M5 (B&C or Choate, or another mid-tier stock).
To my knowledge, both Bell & Carlson and Choate Tactical (both mid-level) have stocks with M5 inletting.
They may be out of stock...
They were $99 at SHOT.
That's quite a deal indeed.

You're right, Stocky's had B&C inlet for their M4 DBM. My error.
Here's where I found the Choate (its not in stock, I'm on the notify list):

Yeah I spoke to Tactical works yesterday too, they get the stocks direct from Choate already inlet. I wrote Choate to see when they think they will be instock but I haven't heard back yet.
Cool. Could you PM me if/when you get an ETA from Choate?
To the rest of you guys: Sorry for hijacking the thread with my budget build conversation.
Back on topic -
PTG Bottom Metal, $75. Get you some!
CDI Precision will inlet bottom metals. They do a great job.
He posted elsewhere that he only inlets for his bottom metal. Unless that has changed since that post.
Also just found Manners T4 stocks inlet from Stockys. Little pricier but better stock.

Can anyone give me some perception on the ptg vs surgeon?
Same here, arrived today.
It's solid, good machining, very nice finish. Now to find a stock I can drop it into...
Further up in the thread, Kamkaze noted that, per his conversation with them, Bell & Carlson do not have any current stocks with PTG/M5 inlets. I'm not sure if an M40 stock would be any different, so you'll likely have to do it yourself, or send to the smithy...
For the rest considering this deal:
PTG Metal ($75) + AI 5round 308 mags (2 - $65/ea) = $205. Depending on how you compare to other brands, or other sellers, you are almost getting one of those mags for free.
Great deal.
It will require milling. I did see GAP offers that service for $75 plus return shipping. Or you can buy the stock direct from them inlet for the M5 bottom metal.
Wish that was a skill set that I had.
A little update on this. I just received my B&C light tactical stock that was inlet for a badger m5 by the previous owner. The PTG fits perfectly in it. I don't have my SPS AAC yet so I can't put it all together but the fitment is nice and tight, it stays in without the screws or anything holding it.
