    Has anyone used a Hawkins hunter flush mag with the Manners gen 1 mini chassis? Just wondering if it would fit. I’m pretty sure Manners gen 1 is based on the Badger M5, so I’m thinking it should fit, but I wanted to know if anyone has any experience with fitment.

    I was wondering about this, too. Anyone?
     
    Hawkins hunter flush mags are meant to be run in their Hunter DBM I believe. But maybe @HawkinsPrecision can chime in.
     
    Is the bottom metal flush with the stock? If not, then there is no way. Here is a hunter mag in hunter DBM:

    Yep, The Hunter Mags are good to go in the Gen. 1 Mini Chassis with it being a flush design like our Hunter Bottom Metal.

    As mentioned above, the Gen. 2 is incompatible for the same reason you can't use our standard M5 DBM with Hunter Mags; the barricade stop/magazine supports that hang below the stock line interfere with the mag basepad, and don't allow the magazine to lock in.
