Re: need opinions on the best DBM
When I looked into buying a JAE chassis about 2 months ago, I was quoted a 10 month lead time.
I would suggest two options (you said "best" DBM):
- Go with a Manners mini-chassis custom built to your specs. This will give you a Badger Ordnance DBM system, and you will have a stock made just how you want it. Can't beat it.
- Get the Surgeon bottom metal if you want to keep your old stock. Sure, it's a bit more expensive, but worth the money. Construction quality is spot on, it comes with a mag, and the mag release lever is thoughtfully designed. It has a front lip and holds the mags extra sturdy. Have the DBM fitted to your stock by someone like Mark Gordon at SAC, Keith at PCR, or Robert Snyder at RW Gunsmithing. Get your rifle bedded at the same time to assist with accuracy, guarantee proper feeding, and knock two jobs off with one trip to the smith. *Only go this route if your stock isn't the cheapo molded plastic variety.*
