Gunsmithing Mcmillan and stiller.

[ManBearPig]

I just ordered a McMillan HTG and a Stiller predator with DBM for my build. My question is do I have mcmillan install their pillars (they are smaller than stillers) or have them (Mcmillan) just drill/inlet for me to install the pillars that stiller provided. Any help is appreciated.

Normally if you tell McMillan what DBM you are using they will inlet for the correct pillars.

Inlet for the Stiller pillars. Pillars are spacers for the DBM (they put the lever on the DBM, and therefore the magazine, at the correct distance from the rails/bolt/chamber). It's always best to use the pillars that were manufactured with the DBM

This was from MCM:

"We cant machine pillars to those specs but we can open up the guard screw holes so that the pillars they provided you will fit in the holes. The only thing you would have to do is cut them to length on your own and glue them in place. Our machined in pillars are only available in one diameter and serve the same purpose as the larger ones. So its completely up to you whether you would like to use the ones that came with the bottom metal or if you would like to use our pre installed ones." End

So have them inlet and I cut to length and glue in seems like my best option.
