What other BDL bottom metal is available that will work with an XM action?Anyone build a 6.5 PRC using a Defiance XM action with their XM BDL kit? Any regrets using the BDL kit versus other BDL on the market?
APA was coming out w a XM DBM.
I just received an anTi XM action and their alloy BDL kit. Leaning toward a 7 SAUM instead of PRC, but might go PRC. GAP will get the build, I’ve just gotta decide!
I believe defiance’s is made by sunny hillYeah, I think Hawkins makes the XM BDL for Defiance, but not 100% sure
I just got my XM length Tenacity build assembled this evening. I’m using an APA DBM setup.
Only trouble is that the magazines are not seating fully, and contact the bottom of the action prior to achieving the necessary height for the bullets to feed. Angle of the magazine looks good, and there is a fair amount of clearance between the bolt and feed lips.
Hoping to talk with Defiance and MDT next week to move toward sorting this out. Haven’t been able to find anybody else running a DBM setup on an XM yet so I guess I’m guinea pig’n it...

This is NOT an issue with MDT or APA.
This is an issue with the Defiance XM Tenacity action for DBM only. I screwed up. We’ve made many of the XM Deviant, Rebel and even some Ruckus actions for DBM over the last couple years with great results. The Tenacity and anTi receivers are machined using different type of machines, so all new programing was needed. I inverted a dimension while creating the computer model for my CAM, then used that same model for the inspection sheet.
We found this problem a couple days ago and are now in the process of tracing the actions. There aren’t many out there, and of course we’ll be taking care of the issue immediately. Please contact Norm or Cody on Monday so they can arrange for pick-up. 406-756-2727 [email protected]
