I just had a local stock wizard do this conversion for me. Super pleased with the results. You wouldn’t know the stock was designed for a floor plate.

That’s really nice. Did you lose any mag capacity? I’d strongly consider having that done. How much did the work cost?

We are in Canada, so that prohibits some, but all in it was $350 and that included the paint job. You also do go to four round capacity.

Let me guess, the Wildcat composites guy did the work? I wish we could order stuff from him in ‘Murica.

I recently fitted a blind mag Winlite stock to my kid’s 9.3. It also ended up with a four round capacity. I like blind mags. Around here I’ve gone through brush so thick that it pops the release and all my rounds dump out on the ground.

It wasn’t Stuart, no, but he does good work. The guy that did mine is also well known across the country for his work with synthetic stocks.

This rifle had PT&G bottom metal on it originally and would dump the magazine contents on the ground routinely.

Super Cub. The individual might not want his name plastered across the internet. For a very good reason. So roll your eyes all you want. I have answered PM’s with the information.

Why not just say that without being so kryptic then? <eye roll>

That looks good buddy. I have a Defiance Deviant and have ordered the blank already. That will definitely become a blind mag as well. I guess for me I don’t see the need for bottom metal with a CRF action.

Did you see any weight savings?

Beretz's, if you're going from all-steel bottom metal to an aluminum blind trigger bow you'll see savings, especially considering you're losing the weight of one round. If you're going from PT&G Aluminum 1-piece to an aluminum blind trigger guard the weight savings is negligible, perhaps an ounce for the bottom metal (the filled-in area at the bottom of the magazine well adds a tiny bit of weight). My guess is it's no more than a 2oz - 2.5 oz savings including the lost round, but I'll be interested to hear what Pathfinder says from actual experience!

I far and away prefer a blind magazine.

Nice looking rig Pathfinder! I have three M70 "ADL" trigger guards for upcoming projects.

Pathfinder, with all the eye rolling it’s hard to tell but I think you were just compared to Superman!

Nice rifle!


Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
