DBM questions

Charlie,
Thanks for the link. I did see those but at 115 bucks for a magazine??? GRANTED IT IS handmade and seems of durable quality but I'm thinking not so much for me.

When you consider the cost of a Savage mag is around $50 and the cost of a G3 mag, $100 isn't bad.

Detachable magazine upgrades are not cheap.

Robin hood, so I have found out. Lol
I was just wondering if I could get say a Boyd's stock and have it inlet to accept an ACIS mag, then I could be done. However I have to do more research on the whole pillar and bedding thing.
Thank you for your response though

Those converted magazines are the cheapest way to get there.

'Best' solution is a chassis. Just not cheap.

Charlie, that is my end goal is to have it on a chassis and for it to be good out to about 900-1000 yards

Not just the Boyd's stock but you have to also purchase the "bottom metal" that is designed to accept whatever magazine you choose.

I have one of the Snyder Axis-style magazines that uses an E.Arthur Brown bottom plate. Very happy with it.

I love your stock and wish I could get that just without the thunbhole. Also, thank you for your response and advice. Could you elaborate on (or point me in the right direction) of the "bottom metal"

[Stumpkiller]

Thanky. The pattern is "Forest Camo" from Boyd's.

The bottom frame I have is this one:

It fits the M10/M11 receiver (short) bolt spacing but I don't now much about the Axis rifles Mine is the version of the M11 that used the Axis style magazine catch. I chewed out the Boyds and bedded mine with Accraglas (receiver and bottom frame) and used a "replacement" metal trigger guard.

I do understand that, but I'm thinking long term...I'm thinking of going with a different stock and then maybe possibly a chassis system later on down the road...then all mags would carry over. If that made any sense.
