Re: PT&G bottom metal

I don't know x2. I think I'll be picking one up next month with an aluminum firing pin and shroud so I'll ask about a DBM when I call

Re: PT&G bottom metal

I've used the SS BDL Bototm Metal and it's good stuff. Very sturdy.
 
Re: PT&G bottom metal

you have any info on inletting the stock that may help or is it a "straight" drop in?

Re: PT&G bottom metal

Should drop in, I think he makes it as a factory replacement. The one I installed was in a take off stock, I had to inlett it a little but, it had the Winchester Mod 70 style prior.
 
Re: PT&G bottom metal

Whats to gain by using a PT&G bottom metal as opposed to rem 700 bdl bottom metal? I am just trying to learn something here? Does the sturdier bottom metal help accuracy any? Lee
 
Re: PT&G bottom metal

i've seen a BDL trigger guard that was broken (somehow recoiled into a rock) and one that had one of the action screws pulled through the hole. this won't happen with good bottom metal.

It's just plain beefy, The factory BM is crappy metal an quality aftermarket pieces are machined. They are generally stronger and more durable.
 
Re: PT&G bottom metal

once you get a quality piece in your hands, youll know the difference.

like the difference between an EGW $40 rail and a $150 badger rail.

like the difference between a hammer you buy from rite aid and a hammer you buy from home depot.

Re: PT&G bottom metal
