Looks like the stock drops down enough in front of the trigger guard so that the magazine no longer protrudes.
FÜCK Jeff_O!

This one was a blued one. I did a couple stainless ones the same and had the flutes blackened. I kinda like this one best. The others are sharp though
I'll work on a picture or two of the bottom side this weekend

You just had the factory barrel fluted or is that a custom tube? I really like that stock.

Those Manner's stocks look great! I'm getting ready to put together a varmint rig in a McM stock with this steel bottom metal that accepts factory mags (just waiting on the rifle to arrive). It was one of 2 prototypes that a machinist built for his personal T3 rifle. What it looked like on his 300 WM

I haven't communicated with him since last year. He stated at that time that he might do some more in the future. I'll see if I can get in touch with him. He works in a small shop and spent many hours on reverse engineering and machining the first two.

I spoke with him today. He would be willing to make more but needs to look into the business legality of producing them on a larger scale plus he works in a small machine shop and isn't sure the kind of volume he could handle.
He's going to look into these matters and will let me know something in the next week or 2.
At the very least, he would consider making a deal with a bigger shop/company for the programs he used to produce the 1st two protypes for his personal use. I'm going to get in touch with Al(Yukonal)about this. 16Bore's dad may have an interest as well.
We'll see where this goes.

Blasphemy! Keep the Swede, especially since a stainless swede is rare.
