Unknown Munitions Bottom Metal?

[Obi-WanKannoli]

Anyone have any experience with or feedback on these? I love the design and push button release, don't love the proprietary mags but not the end of the world.

$220 for the bottom metal and $130 for the mags. It's not flush fitting like a Hawkins hunter mag and not a front barricade stop either. So just fugly IMHO.

I think for a hunting rifle neither really matter. I'm more curious about fit, finish, and functionality.

It’s legit. I have one on my .300 Terminator and it feeds great and the mag release design is the shit. Do it.

Love this one…

Gunsmithing - Remington 700 DBM opinions from guys that put them in.....and use them.

Lots of options out there. Lots of opinions. Figured Id ask here amongst the people that install them in hopes of finding out what is preferred as far as ease of fitting and just plain works for the customer. My build is going to be a wood stocked R700 in .308. Kind of an M40esque heavy...

Awesome. I ordered one, going to try it out in a new build. Can always sell it!

I put it in my 300 prc and think its great. Had the Hawkins flush fit in for a couple days tell i got this. Other then flush fit I will take the Unkown every time. And I use a bunch of Hawkins stuff so that is not a rip on them. More mag length for seating and it didnt' beat the crap out of the brass like the Hawkins did. Has functioned perfect on 2 sheep hunts

Awesome to hear, I'm looking forward to trying it out. How is the lock up of the mag in the well?

 

[bogey]

Lock up is good. My buddy that was along last week on the Desert sheep hunt is a big prs guy and first he laid hands on one. He really liked it and said he was going to try some. I am typically a BDL type person for hunting guns, but do really like this

 

[Obi-WanKannoli]

Got mine in today. It's really nice, absolutely love the push button magazine. The mags are extremely nice too, might be the best feeling mags quality-wise I've handled to date including mdt and seekins carbon. Pictured is a 300 PRC with a Barnes 208 LRX in it.

Hard pass. A good Oberndorf bottom metal is all I would want.

One of the few that put a mag release button in the correct place .
*Hawkins hunter mag used to chew the hell out of my brass.

Yessir! For those curious:

Old thread but I just bought this with the short action XL magnum magazines and it is great. Can now load my 6.5 PRC up to 3.15” without issue.

 

[4O6shootist]

I have a bat bumblebee, and run this mag/dbm setup with my long freebore 25prc. It's pretty badass to run near 3.2coal from a true short action!

 

[Obi-WanKannoli]

I ended up taking mine off my rifle as it does not fit the Manners mini chassis (long action).
