I have used the PAWS metal many times over the years and like it well enough. It does save some weight and is the proper length for '06 cartridges. I am quite sure one could remove the antelope but I've not tried it. The resultant plate would be pretty thin. One could modify a standard Mauser floorplate and replace the antelope plate with it. You would gain an ounce and a half or so. GD

https://www.ebay.com/itm/265306647485?hash=item3dc5822bbd:g:sMIAAOSw2cVhOpVI no....the one I'm looking for was formerly sold at Brownells.....it was the entire bottom metal with magazine, trigger guard, and hinged floorplate. Price was around $65 and labeled P A W S.....all alloy metal and reduced weight quite a bit.

Have you tried gun shows?
I scored a PAWS antelope (now on a Husky 640 8mm) and a Browning LW (now on my Husky 640 9,3X62) at the Big Reno Show last year...$25.00 each.
They're out there.

I have a number of rifles built with the PAWS aluminum alloy casting from Brownells, and I am happy. I have a number of rifles built with the Parker Hale aluminum alloy casting from Sarco, and I am happy. https://www.sarcoinc.com/m98-mauser-trigger-guard-hingedGenerally, I try to avoid Sarco, but I am ok with this product.

The trigger guard / mag well with no hinge plate weighs 0.21 oz I think Sarco screwed up not me. It is not steel. There is Sarco Aluminum alloy bottom metal with a ram head engraved on the bottom metal of the Husqvarna 6.5-06 that I built last Sept and shot a deer in October.

There’s some nutsack over on AR that says he’s going to get a run of Mauser bottom metal made in China or Taiwan or somewhere overseas. You may want to track him down and see if he’s for real or not.
