Re: Badger M5 Gunsmith Question
Do you already have pillars in your stock?I just had this same project done by GAP. Here is what I ran into, just to give you some heads up.
I sent my A5 in to have it inletted for my M5. I sent the pillars that came with the M5, because it was my understanding that they should be installed when using the M5 to insure proper function and fit. It came back in a week or so, but the pillars were not installed. GAP advised that they install the pillars when they bed the rifle. I sent the rifle right back to have them bed it and install the pillars. The bed job was about a 5 week turnaround and I just got it back two days ago.
They did a good job, but I wished I would have known ahead of time so I could have everything done at once, which would have saved me the cost of shipping it twice.
The last I heard from GAP was that they are not doing these projects for awhile, as they are catching up with other work. I sent mine in just when they anounced that they were not taking new work for awhile, plus I think they bailed me out of a pinch, due to my misunderstanding on the pillar install.
If you want to send it to GAP, make sure you talk to them and tell them exactly what you want done so that they can tell you if you need to do a bed job too. If your stock already has the pillars installed, then you might be in better shape.
