Hey everyone. Im looking at buying a used stock that is inlet for what the seller believes is a CDI dbm, but I plan on running an m5 bottom metal in it. Does anyone know how close the inlet is on these two bottom metals? I don't mind having to bed my m5 bottom metal in the stock to fill in any gaps, likewise I don't mind having to open up the current inletting for the m5 dbm so long as I'm not having to remove crazy amounts of the aluminum bedding block to get the mag well to fit (something I've done at home before and do not wish to do it again). Any answers or help are greatly appreciated.
