Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

I've never used these mags before. Sorry for the dumb question, but is it the AICS mags that this bottom metal accepts?

 

[marctolate]

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

Yes, it's made for AICS mags.

I have the 300 RUM and was told I would have to use the 338LM mag, and according to Colin it will work. I have not bought the mag yet, but will be doing so here shortly. </div></div>

You will need to modify the 338L mags to work with the 300rum. The rib in the side of the mag needs to be milled out, just thought you might like the heads up.

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

Thanks for the post furtaker....will you post the pics when you get the 338 mag??

 

[Furtaker_.223]

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

I will be sure to do that.

 

[burgessb]

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

did u do the install or have it done?

 

[M700Love]

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

Maybe I missed it but does this use the same inlet as badger?

 

[_Shay_]

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

The footprint is similar but not exact. I'm hoping I get mine back soon. I have a mag, ammo on the way, and now I just need the main parts to be back here.

Pics soon

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

Who is doing your inlet shay?

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

My stock and bottom metal are at GAP at the moment.

 

[M700Love]

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

If you don't mind what are they charging for the inlet and is return shipping included?

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

Next we need a group bye for Mag's? Just ordered mine from Midway. $80 or so for the 10 rd. mag. Any one know a less expensive place to get them?

 

[uscbigdawg]

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

I go to Triad Tactical or CS Tactical for all of my AI mags.

Prices...

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

Several are taking advantage of this group buy. I hope alot are not regretting when word gets out on the price goes up.

Last I checked Colt was the only AR until the FEDs did a contract with RRA. Just saw in the Creedmore thread these are unproven.

I am in for a couple and I hope we all will be real happy when we have money left over to buy a couple of mags.....

Anyone want to try an Alpha mag group buy????? I am in ---want some one else to work that one out that deal!!1...lol

Definitely. It would seem that the basic design of DBM's are essentially the same with some minor changes here and there. At this intro price, how can you go wrong? The mags always seem to be the problem when there is one and even that is virtually eliminated with quality mags from AI and now Alpha.

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

FYI, mcree precision is also making some AI clone mags. If they are anything like their chassis, i'm sure they are top shelf.

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

I have a SA on the way, looking forward to seeing how it does.

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

well, mine is just about done. There were a few issues, and I'll get more in depth with that once I get the stock back to me.

Few issues with the bottom medal? Or with your build in general

Yeah that could be a useful piece of information to share right now before we get into this

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

It was just an issue of GAP not having the correct size tool to inlet the stock with, nothing that had to do with the metal. maybe they can chime in...

 

[Tengo1]

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

I'd love to see a couple more pics of this bottom metal on guys guns before the Sept. 30th deadline for the group buy

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

Hopefully I can get some pics before then. My stock should be on its way back soon.

+1, kinda on the fence. But, will probably have to get one anyway since times about up,,,

 

[sobrbiker883]

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

I happy that my assumption was wrong and that someone is making affordable AICS'S magazine compatible bottom metal. My assumption that the parts were being made in China has been refudiated, and I wish the best for AtlasWorxs in this venture. Once the ligistics of bringing them to our market (US) in quantity is straightened out they should have a lrage marketshare.

Now, will a RadTac latch work with these?

<span style="text-decoration: line-through">So I've spent the last 20 minutes reading through six pages of this thread and looking at atlasworxs.com


I cannot see anywhere where these are made in AU, and see a LOT on their site about global sourcing.

If you guys are happy that you are saving $50 to support and AU company that is most likely just dealing Asian made knockoffs of American products from American companies that support American interests and soldiers I wish you the best in your enjoyment of your knockoff shit.</span>

If anyone cares to post evidence that AtlasWorks manufactures these DBM's themselves in their facility in their country I will happily retract my allegation that they are Chinese made knockoffs and are hurting our economy more than the little each buyer is saving is helping it.

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

Would be interesting to hear. But yeah, you probably should have just asked him before throwing accusations around in both threads,,,

 

[Outsydlooknin75]

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

You know I love this debate. There are only so many ways to build something that does the same thing. Arent all bottom metals a knock off of someone else basically? Are all AR's a knock off of the original?

If an action has the same footprint as a Remington is it a knock off?

Saving $50? So you know where I can get a Badger M5 for $135 shipped? Please, do tell.

 

[tmckay2]

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

who cares? its affordable. if companies don't want people making similar products then make yours affordable so there isn't a market. i work in health care, i know all about developmental cost and how you have to make enough to make that money back. but the price people charge for bottom metal is flat out OUTRAGEOUS. they charge it because they can. we need a new player with an affordable product that is very similar to drive costs down.

and yes, almost every gun part out there is a "borderline knock off". they have to be. there are only so many ways you can make something. look at mags. people copy one another all the time and just change some small detail. all they need is very small changes and its fine. i am not worried about it. there aren't many ways to make a bottom metal wrong and this one is a third the price of almost anyone else. without a doubt worth a try and likely going to be a great deal.

if someone else wants to pay three times more for the same thing have at it, i won't stop you. but don't cry foul to everyone else who jumps at a killer deal.

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

I'm pretty sure they come from the Oz, considering that is where the return address on my package was from. The email above solidifies that.

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

Are these CNCed from a casting or billet?
How are the others built?

 

[chakup]

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

I'm gonna take a guess CNC'd from solid piece. Really these are fairly basic and doubt there'd be the money spent for dies to forge. I also don't see why you'd think they'd farm a project like this out being a machine shop. again it's really not a very complicated part.

 

[JD42]

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

Sorry for the crapie cell phone pictures. Its a very well made part. I am very inpressed. The AI mag fits like a glove. I am going to order another one before the sale ends. There is some small amount of alumanum on mine in the picture from testing it in my H/S stock. Very well finshed.

 

[BapZander]

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

Did you just receive your bottom metal from the group buy? I haven't heard anything from them, but I ordered on the 16th so I'm hoping mine is close to being here...

 

[Tengo1]

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

This is in no way a knock of CDI, as I have heard nothing but good things about him and his bottom metal, in fact I plan on using his for a future FN build. But the pressure is on with these cheap alternative bottom metals. I just noticed he has just issued his own group buy to counter it.

Nothing personal against the local guys, but if you can buy a fully milled and anodized AR-15 lower for $80, bottom metal shouldn't be $300. Yes I know most are steel, but that doesn't add $200 in material cost.

Re: Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

Competitive market, its amazing how fast it can bring the price of an item to where it really should be.
