stop being so open minded. Your brains might fall out.

I don't send my hard earned $$$ or stuff out to people I do not know.

You sound like that young blonde woman on a TV commercial that says to the guy "It has to be true. I read it on the Internet. They have to tell the truth on the Internet.".

The OP did not say he bought one and it was the best thing since sliced bread at the store. He was asking opinions.

Mine is, simply put; don't entrust your belongings to an unknown.

About 15 years ago I sent a rifle and reamers to a gentleman to have the rifle rechambered. Four months later, I had not heard from him. Could not contact him via his supplied phone number, no response to Email, or snail mail. I finally called the Sheriff's department. Turns out, this fine young man had married some woman he met in a bar, about two weeks after they first met. Took her home, and she never left.

They get into a pissing contest, and she files a restraining order on him. Here he is, cannot get into his shop, because it is next door to the house, and he cannot come within 300 feet of her or the house. His entire customer database is in a computer in his shop, as are a couple dozen firearms in process.

I ended up having to go to our county courthouse, file a sworn affidavit in front of one of your magistrate judges on video, that I needed my rifle back, and requesting that they consider sending him out to the shop with a deputy escort, to retrieve his computer, and send my rifle back. Fortunately, the judge there decided there was merit in my application. The work had been done, it was waiting on payment to ship back. He called me from his shop and told me he would send the rifle and reamers back, and to just wait until the rifle arrived and send payment to the address shown.

Shit happens. This woman might have decided to take all of those firearms to a gun show and sell them anonymously to trusting buyers. No record kept, what would he have done?

Shit even happens here. I have a friend who decided to have some work done by a respected member here nearly two years ago. Rebarrel and custom dies. He still does not have all of the work done and his stuff all back as far as I know.

Is that trigger guard & floor plate with latch for DBM all steel? Alloy with a steel latching lever? Alloy.
Either way or whatever, it must be investment cast and properly heat treated, eh? AR receivers are made of alloy and they take a beating. Are you planning on throwing it in the chipper shredder?
To be offered for such a reasonable cost in so many diferent actions, and sizes, it must be minimal in the machining involved (precision cast),
and ought to be easy enough to fit it to your rifle yourself. Mine bolted right up and matched internally to the feed ramp with the magazine inserted.
It is considerable bother to have to ship your rifle in to have it fitted. I think the fitting is so that it fits using your stock. I didn't worry about this because McMillan is stocking the rifle to fit.
I'd buy right now if I did not have to ship a rifle to get it fitted. You can purchase it without sending your rifle in. You may need to make minor alterations in the stock, but that's true for many custom bottom metals. Remember your old magazine well only contained cartridges but the new one will contain a magazine with cartridges.

Can you order the parts and fit them to your rifle yourself? Yes, if you are willing to do the fitting yourself.

Will a 308 AICS mag fit the Ruger Precision rifle?
I'm looking to use the 5 round mag in my Precision in 6.5 creedmoor.
Our rifles here in Canada are sold with 10 shot Ruger scout mags, something to do with our dumb magazine regulations
