Triggerguard (Matt) thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I second Notropis' question above. Are the specs the same for the New Haven model 70s and the FN bottom metal? Can your one piece units be easily fit onto the earlier USRAC two piece bottom metal rifles? It would be great if they are almost a drop-in replacement.

They require some minor inletting if you're using the older style three-screw bottom metal.
They are indeed a drop-in if you're using a USRAC Model 70 that came with the original aluminum one-piece bottom metal, or an older Super Grade, Safari Express or Super Express with our older style push-button bottom metal.

Thanks for the information. I just ordered one from you this evening for a 3-screw Super Grade in .338WM.

They do have their profit built in........(grin)
The first time I saw those things, I was expecting to see Hasbro stamped on them.

I'll admit it is a somewhat small market though.

FWIT- My Model 70 classic SS has the 2 pc bottom metal (3 screw). It is a NH and relatively new, not sure of the year it is a 270 WSM.
There is no accounting for taste.
Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.
Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.
