Gunsmithing Badger M5 bottom metal ?

[sierra6]

I have a Remmy 700LH short action in a McMillan A3 with BDL bottom metal. I'd like to have it fitted for the new Badger M5 system. First of all is it possible to take it from BDL config to the M5 system and if so how much inletting is required?

Thanks, s6

Thanks, Keith. This rifle is actually going to get a full makeover if you will. I will be looking for someone to shorten the barrel, add a brake and do a bolt handle for me as well. I'm being told you may be the man for the job. Any chance you could PM me with details?

Thanks

Right now we're only doing bolt knob installs and come Cerakote work.

In a year we will be doing a full range of services, and will have great prices for Hide members.

On here, US Handgunner is a great guy and may be able to do it soon. GAP is a model of a company but I dont know if they'll do piece work right now. Wait times might be longer than some others too. William Roscoe is a great gunsmith, as is Randy Cain.
I could go on, but there are quite a few great guys on here that could do the work.


Id have the inletting done by mcmillan though.

Roger that! It's the bolt handle for you then sir. What can I expect for a turn around time?

Thank you.

Turn around is about 3 days, plus shipping back via UPS ground.
