I am slightly customizing my Classic stainless M707mmRM. I am putting it into a winlite (McMillan) stock, and would like to install one piece bottom metal. I am looking at PT&G products, that sell steel, stainless and aluminum versions. I intend to cerakote the rig in a dark color. Any performance improvements, other then weight, for choosing one material over the others? Are you going to cut the barrel to 24" too since it looks like you are looking to shave some weight off of that thing? Post some pics when you get it done....Thanks.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Not as this time....Weight really hasn't been a problem with this rifle, as it balances well for me....I will post some pics....
Regards,
Tom

That's a big difference. My factory units were pretty thick as well. E

If someone could explain the diff between "one piece" and "two piece" bottom metal, I would appreciate it.

I'm thinking of having a Winchester blind mag Edge stock converted to using the PT&G bottom metal, price Mcmillan quoted me was $51 + $25 shipping. 2-4 week turnaround time.

Dremel tool is cheap. Hand files even cheaper. It's only fiberglass after all.

Well, it ain't rocket science to smoothly file out some fiberglass at the bottom of a stock. Live a little.....
