DBM questions

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"

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.

Definitely looks better than stock. I guess I just have to wait till my "delayed" process is over and i have the rifle in hand in order to inspect it more.

If you are going to end up with a chassis, then I would skip the magazine conversion and save my money for the chassis. By the time you buy a new stock, bottom metal and magazine you'd be half way to the chassis anyway, and with mags that would not fit the chassis.

If you are getting a new axis then I understand the stock is pillar bedded. Just stick with it and practice.

Charlie,
Would the glass bedding be better then pillar bedding?
Also, I need something to play with or my mind goes nuts. I have ADHD and depression. When my mind goes idle then I go into a manic spiral. I do understand the cost is gonna be greater, but I'm sure it would be a great learning experience doing this all myself.
With that being said, I DO APPRECIATE your responses and can only take this as advice and information.
