. I'm saving up for bottom metal for it, but i wanna sight it in and start shooting it now. with it setup like this will it still have consistent accuracy?

if you cant tell from the picture im using the stock trigger guard and for the front screw i've just got a metal bushing in between the stock and screw
 
Re: accuracy with no bottom metal

Just think, it might shoot great without the mag cover, and shoot like crap with it.
 
Re: accuracy with no bottom metal

you should be fine, try it out and tell us what happened cause i am kinda curious.

Was it the Dick's Special 700? I had one of those and shopped around for some take off BDL bottom metal. I think I found a complete set for $59 or so. Worth the upgrade.

They show up from time to time due to people switching to a DBM setup.
