FN bottom metal?
I just bought a Browning Safari long extractor in 375 that has had some custom work (Teflon coating, glass bedding, and a few other little bells and whistles.) What should have been done was to replace the crappy aluminum bottom metal. I have an FN marked rifle in 458, and that one has good quality steel bottom metal. Does anyone know of a source for replacement steel bottom metal for my Browning?

I just cleaned up 98 military Mauser bottom metal and put it on my FN in 6mm Rem. You will probably need to alter the magazine well to accommodate the .375H&H?? / buy a custom unit. --- John

I have a take off from a FN based Weatherby in 300 WBY mag. I just listed it on 24HCF today. Asking $300 for a nice stock and the bottom metal. Would sell the bottom only for $130.
