Same "foot print" but the quality of the PTG bottom metal is a crapshoot. After the stainless one I bought, I won't buy another.
I have heard about the PTG crapshoot before...can you elaborate on the issues you encountered with their bottom metal?
I’ve had several PT&G units where the inletting for the forward action screw was too deep... you’d snug up the screw and bind the bolt! Their solution was to cut the screw... my solution to them was machine the damn things consistently.
That co just sucks... the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing.
