Favorite M5 bottom metal for Manners nightstalker?
- Thread starter jzerfoss

MDT is the best due to having adjustable mag latch.
Negative. The only manners internal chassis that has dbm built in, is the TCS I believe. They also now make a TCS-M5 that you can use your own dbm.
Gotcha, well the good news is I managed to get a nightstalker in stock. Bad news is I need to buy a bottom metal now lol
I usually run Hawkins, I’ll follow this thread to see what else is out there.
I just looked on Manners website. You gotta scroll down to MCS M5, which is what the NS mini chassis is.

Has anyone tried the KMW DBM with the Captv-mag tabs? I'm wondering if the tabs will interfere with the mini chassis. @Terry Cross
The first ones did. The current ones do not.
Shipping a bunch of them. I know quite a few are going into Mini chassis MAC but nobody has called with any issues.
If anyone tries and has an issue, I need to know details. Will pay return shipping and issue a full refund.

The above are great options, but I’ll also throw the OTM bottom metal in there as well. One of my favorites
Hawkins or KMW are top choices.
Depends if you want flush fit hunter mags or plan to run reg AI mags, at least for my decisions.
Was gonna get some KMW for a new stock, but went with the hunter. Less stuff sticking out on a hunter seemed like a good idea.
I like the Hawkins stuff I use, top notch folks.
I like the KMW stuff I use a lot. He is a stand up and awesome guy, other than I still dont have a Zealot chassis here….

Awesome I'm ordering yours today. Thank you for the quick response.
@Terry Cross it fits like a glove and the captv-mag feature works like a charm from what little I've messed with it! I think this is my favorite bottom metal I've played with! Thank you
16.5" It's a OCM5 suppressor with the OTB mount machined into the barrel.
Thank you so much for sharing that info.
That rig looks sick!
Very, very cool rifle AND you're running one of my favorite scopes. Now go wear that thing out!
I appreciate your business.
You and yours have a blessed Christmas

Terry, Will the M5 work with AW mags in a Mini chassis? Looked like the MK1 does but wasn't listed on the M5 page in your webstore.
Thanks!
Yes sir.
Assuming you are running a receiver with AW compatible bottom cut, you should be good to go.
Thanks for asking.
@Terry Cross how tight should the fit be? Ive gotten it in almost the whole way but hit a sticking point and I can’t get it to sit lower, also the front action screw doesn’t seem to be lining up. Any help would be appreciated!

Called Terry, he took care of me and explained the issue, one of the best in the business!
