AIAE MKIII Barreled Action in Different Stock?

[remau308]

Can an AIAE MKIII, or other variant, barreled action be taken out of the AI stock, and be properly inletted into a different stock like a Manners or McMillan? I know this is a pretty weird question, but I'm not really that fond of the AI chassis, but love the AI actions. Has anyone ever done this?

Sounds like the rifle version of a sleeper.

There's a thread around here somewhere addressing this; I think the general consensus is that it can't be done. It has to do with the bottom metal attaching to the recoil lug.

It could be done as a single shot fairly easily but bottom metal and mags are a different story.

Hmm, that's a bit of a bummer, but I appreciate the replies.

It can be done as a single shot according to this thread.

Think of the money that could be made if someone would make their own DBM that would allow this.......
