My brother had one inletted and it wasn't exactly right. We fixed it but manners was willing to inlet it to fit if we wanted to send in the action.

Kimber7man made my decision with his post from a month or so ago. M700 action 7-08. Painted Black Forest (I think it's called). Regards, Nick- Georgia
