Gunsmithing Who has bottom metal?

[imcmahon]

I'm looking for some kind of DBM bottom metal for a rem700 long action, and it seems like the entire world is out of stock. There's plenty of short action to go around, but long action bottom metal is made of unicorn meat or something...

Anyone know of a place that might have some in stock?

Here, I'll post some feedback. WARNING, BUY APA AT YOUR OWN RISK. It's like crack, you will be addicted. Very good product. The design of the mag release is slim yet easy to find and operate. It fits perfectly into any stock already inletted for the Badger. Uses AI mags. It is my new go to bottom metal. Not taking away from any of the other fine bottom metals, just letting you all that have not seen it yet know that it is high quality that functions great.

Bottom metal is very nice... I had to do some inletting work on my B&C A2 for it to fit.

My only concern is that the screws that came with it seem to be way off from what they need to be. Based on the pillars that come with it, it seems like I need a 1" front screw and a 1-3/8" rear screw, but the actual screws that it shipped with are 1-1/8" and 1-1/4". The short screw is too short and the long screw is too long.
