Gunsmithing Badger M4

[Heretoimproveforhunting]

Does anyone have any, or know of a site or thread that has good pictures of the mechanism on Badger's M4 bottom metal that's used to open it? I'm trying to compare to a DD Ross to decide which one to get, but couldn't get a good angled picture from Badger's site.

I have some M4 at home. I could take some pictures

From playing with it, the M4 bottom metal is really slick in how it locks up. The fit is really good.

Don't even bother with DD ross, he has really gone downhill, you can read all the gripe threads from a few months back about the rifles he messed up.

Get the badger, and never look back. Or consider a williams, they make some damn fine floorplates as well.

Re: Badger M4

I have both...honestly they are both built very stout....the release is easier to operate on the DD Ross...DD Ross built rifles are questionable right now.....his products have never been in question, with me or with anyone as far as I know.....I will take pics of both when I get home...if I don't remember PM me....

Re: Badger M4

I wasn't insinuating his floorplate was bad, just that I wouldn't send him any money till he gets his shit together.

I'd still buy the badger

Re: Badger M4

First 3 are DD Ross L/A

Second set of 3 are the Badger...S/A

The DD Ross is easier to open for me...just a bigger tab to push...the Badger is tucked in the trigger guard pretty good...the DD Ross has a slightly bigger finger hole and is slightly wider and longer than the M4...My A3 was inlet for the L/A M4 and I opened it up for the DD Ross....hope this helps...let me know if you want size reference or any different pics.

Re: Badger M4

Thanks for the pics Joe. These are most helpful and provide for as good a comparison as I can expect to get without putting the two side by side in person.

Re: Badger M4

I bought a badger m4 used here on the hide, it is a lot more heavy duty than the factory stuff.
