    Where do I find bottom metal?


    I picked up and old 110 about 2 months ago and brought home a stock from an auction yesterday. The stock is cut out "BDL" style and I need to find some bottom metal for the stock.
    The rifle is a LA, flat back, old school style. It doesn't need to have a hinged floorplate. A fixed one like a Rem 721 is OK. I just need to fill the hole in the stock.

    This may not be what your looking for but Accurate Mag has bottom metal and mags that will fit 110, This would be a magazine fed bottom metal

    You need to determine if the stock you bought is compatible with the magazines that fit your action. Then we can work on that with a clear understanding of what you need.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    You bought a savage stock with a bdl cut? I'm not sure that makes sense. Did you get a savage stock or is it a Remington stock? As far as I know a bdl inlet stock is for a Remington action.

    I can get pix when I get home around the 17th.
    I used the BDL term as an example. Hopefully pictures will help

    Are you looking to make the rifle into a DBM or something else ?

    Search Numrich Gun Parts - "Savage 110 Floor Plate" - http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Products/1184740.htm.

    Or, get a strip of ebony or tiger maple wood on Ebay. Trace, cut and sand to shape/fit hole. Finish with Tru-Oil and use clear epoxy to glue in place.

    Picture shows example of a couple of magazine floor plates made from black ebony and walnut stips for use with Savage DBM stocks.

    I just went through this same search for an older 110. You need a long action floor plate and floor plate insert to retain the magazine spring on the floorplate. There were two sizes of floorplates, one that tapers towards the front and another that is constant width (looks like what you need). If you post the measurements for the opening that would need to be covered I can compare it to a spare floorplate to see if a factory Savage floorplate will work. There's a couple spare parts places that may have the parts but they were fairly tough to find and expensive relative to what a whole rifle can be bought for.

    I looked on Numrich's site and they showed Sold Out. - Thanks for the link. I'll go that route. I'll have to get the short action insert - cut it and weld in a piece to make it fit the LA. If that is a bust I like the Tiger Maple idea as the stock is maple. Nice work !!
