Bottom Metals

Does everyone just put up with magazines riding up high enough to interfere with bolt cycle? Or am I missing something? My Cadex Defense chassis have material built up directly above the mag latch to stop the upward travel of the magazine once the latch grabs hold of it. In the middle of a build right now, why can't I find bottom metal that has something like this? Is noone else bothered by having something on the outside of the rifle that can obstruct the bolts path when pressed? Thanks.
 
That's smart of KMW.

Don't have any of their DBM's (I almost exclusively run chassis'), but that is a very smart design feature. The KMW DBM seems like a no-brainer if you need a DBM.
 
Only thing I never got confirmation of was what mods you need to do to a Foundation stock inlet for the KMW M5 and which inlet (Badger or Hawkins) to start from.
John Kyle has a inlet program for the KMW M5.
The Foundation inlets are so darned seamless and tight they literally have a different "M5" program for each company's iteration to account for slight variations in radius, etc.

It’s not available in their online drop-down and when I’ve asked they’ve said the opposite. 🤷🏻‍♂️
