Gunsmithing Stock/Bottom Metal

[ROK]

1. I just got my Manners MCS EH1A stock which I requested be inletted for Remington bottom metal. I later picked up Surgeon w/Mag and forgot to call Manners and change the inlet.

Question:
Am i better off just getting new bottom metal or should I send it back and have Manners fix the inlet? The Surgeon bottom metal is huge.

2. I have a Sako 375 H&H L61R AV which I put in a McMillan stock... After I broke the wood at the barrel lugs. The stock bottom metal is rattling around.

Question:
Any recommendations on good bottom metal that will fit... no mag.

Thank you!

Question #1: Send it back to Manners. It will be perfect. You don't want to have to deal with trying to use bottom metal for a Remington inlet.

No idea on question 2.
