I know Williams stopped making the M70 bottom metal in stainless. Anyone know why by the way?
Where else can I find one-piece, stainless, bottom metal for the SA M70 without sending Sunny Hill $500 for one??!!

They stopped making them because lack of affordable raw materials.

Doesn't leave very many options other than getting a in the white Willams and having it coated with something like NP3 or maybe even Cerakote in a stainless finish.

I went with the MRC stainless bottom metal on my, in progress Model 70 build, and "Redneck" said it fit well, seemed to be good quality materials and workmanship. Only difference is I did the LA... https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...s/3530307/Re_Pros_Cons_to_the_Montana_Ri

Just got off the phone with Blackburn. He no longer makes them in stainless. He said that most of the guys were just coating them to look like stainless. Too bad.

Well, I just got an email from Maggie, Ted's daughter. For some reason her computer isn't working properly to be able to get on here to reply. She tells me she has 1 short action stainless model 70 floor metal left. It is made from 303 stainless steel. she said you should call her TALK TO MAGGIE AT 435-623-1388. Make sure and speak with Maggie. (by the way, I know for a fact that these guards are not made from some kind of colored steel because I am the one who procured the 303 stainless for them for a short run of stainless. I have one, a 303 stainless, in the #3 size. Here is a photo of it. ![[Linked Image]](http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c87/22wrf/002-3.jpg)
