Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats New pre-64 bottom metal option

I found these while looking for something else on the web. I have not seen these before and I cannot comment on their quality. Obviously they are pricey, but they are available. I reached out to the seller and was advised that they are steel, in the white, and weigh 8 ounces. I looked at what was available on the web for the company which appears to be manufacturing them and they seem to have a good reputation and manufacture mostly medical supply equipment. No endorsement; I just figured I would pass it along to my fellow looneys.

Pretty beefy at 1/2 pound.

About the same as a Williams or Blackburn - with which it shares lines. This is a SA Blackburn for reference. LA is almost exactly the same as the above unit.

Thanks for sharing, nice to have another option for us Pre 64 M70 guys.

Nice discussion about this offering

Now we need to coerce them to make some out of an aluminum alloy..

They look pretty nice.

Thanks for that! Google missed that when I was looking for any info. Appreciated.

Yeah, $840 a pound beefy.

Yeah, it's crazy what good BM goes for these days.

Don't look up the price on Sunny Hill BM..

Figure it this way, if you calculate how long you'd likely have the hinge actually in use in a year and then multiply it by 10 or so years amortization... You'lll likely be spending something like several hundred dollars an hour for the 'convenience'. I do like such products, but the cost to benefit ratio is horribly extreme. IF we were doing full business with China or India, likely the same unit would cost 'maybe' $15 in quantities of 100 pieces. With 3D Printers, likely here eventually even cheaper IF anyone finding sufficient market.

I'd employ my safety and bolt extractor or... Figure out a helluva good way to impress my friends with it! Casually carrying my Winchester 70 around, largely inconvenient and folks as in my church, likely too occupied 'grabbing floor'!

Different strokes for such buyers, for sure!
Just my take
Best!
