I don't know of any that pop right in, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. I will say, dont sweet milling out the stock. It can be done with a 30ish dollar dremal tool with relative ease.

I have a mill in the basement I just worry since it's a precision weapon. I don't wanna fubar a stock.

Measure twice, cut once, and you will be more than fine. My first time running a mill was to put a DBM in. It turned out perfect.

 

[Yeah]

If you are in any way iffy about running the mill, punt the stock. You'll be doing yourself a favor in the long as the B&C medalists have only slightly less milk jug content than the factory offerings.

Their marketing point, aside from the obviously ill fit "M40" designation, is the aluminum bedding block, all 3 dimensions of which will need to be milled out to fit the DBM correctly. Even Stocky's is familiar enough to advise not doing it, though no doubt someone has tackled the job with a dremel and pronounced themselves successful.

McMillan and Manners can deliver a stock inlet for a drop in fit for that DBM and their stocks are light years ahead of a Medalist.

MicMillan and Manners with DBM will run 800-900 that's I've seen. Do they sell just the stock ready fo the DBM to drop in?

 

[silentvoice71]

I'm not paying that much. If that's the case I'll buy a magpul chassis when it comes out.

 

[tradertator]

I'd be a little leery with a B&C stock, but that's just me. I would try to sell it, buy an H&S Precision, and drop in their DBM (if a Manners, McMillan, AI, or the like are out of your price range).

So why is it such a bad idea to get a B&C stock inletted for M5 bottom medal?

 

[silentvoice71]

It isn't. There are snobs on here who think if it's not AI or mcmillan it's trash.

I think they are fine stocks (as long as we are talking about the medalist with the aluminum block). I just had one break on the forend, and couldn't believe how hollowed out the inside was. I've put my HS M24 through way more hell, and it's held up just fine. YMMV though. I just think with the going rate of an Remington Police takeoff, the HS is the way to go.

I gotcha. The only reason I ask is because I have a B&C medalist style 3 (hook) that I am thinking about sending in to get inletted for M5 bottom metal, but didn't know if that was a bad idea?

By the way, I thought HS precision was somewhat hollow as well, with a foam core?

 

[tradertator]

They are, but for whatever reason (might be luck as much as anything), I've had better experience with the HS. That said, I'm sure your B&C will be fine. Just measure twice / cut once, take your time, etc.... Good luck

What negative things have you heard or experienced with B&C stocks when inletting for dbm's?
