    Hey all,

    I've just scored my very first McM A5 and it has a BDL inlet. Any ideas where I can find the best deal on some bottom metal? I can't really afford a DBM system right now due to way too many recent purchases so I'm just looking for a factory style BDL setup. Any ideas on a good place to find one? I've been looking in the for sale section here but I'm never fast enough to get one. I know your prolly thinking just take it off the other stock but this rifle is in a AICS and I don't have the factory 5R bottom metal.

    Pacific Tool and Gage if you want a perfect drop in fit for the factory Remington. If you want steel and a little stock work get the Williams drop in for the Remington.

    The Williams floor plate door is a little different then the factory Remington and on the McMillan stock a little work is needed to clear this door.

    I checked out PT&G and that looks good, but still a little more than I was wanting to spend. I was hoping to find someone with a factory takeoff but if I don't in the next day or two I'll just order one from them.

    Thanks for the website.

    Since I'm in a similar situation, I'll post this somewhat related question here too:

    Are the magazine follower / springs and magazine boxes interchangeable from ADL to BDL? I'm still waiting on my BDL inleted stock, and I currently have an ADL rifle. Do I need to just buy bottom metal... or bottom metal / follower / spring / etc...
