I have a McMillan stock that is inlet for Badger M5 DBM. I don't really want to pay for M5 BM and AI mags when I already have a Wyatt's DBM. So my question is I I bed the stock and get the Wyatt's on properly could I Use bedding to fill in around the Wyatt's BM or something else?

Yeah- that's gel coat. That would look like ass with the bedding compound. I'm assuming the metal you have is smaller so that fits? I guess you could paint it after but buying a m5 seems like the responsible non half assed moved in this case.
 
Aren't there a couple other DBMs that are cheaper that than Badger that use the M5 footprint? Could sell the Wyatts and do it that way, just another at to look at it, especially if you like the stock.
 
PT&G works. $99 on midway. Could get that and a couple mags for Wyatt price. Also some guys are modding Riger polymer mags to work with 700 style actions and AICS mag systems. They are $30 for a 10 rounder local to me.
