M96 Bottom Metal
Is there a maker of custom M96 bottom metal out there? Adam

Any intermediate-length bottom metal will work, also any standard-length bottom metal can easily have the front tab shortened & welded to the proper length, I've done several that way.

Many aftermarket makers occasionally make a run of the intermediate-length item, IIWY I'd contact Duane to ask him.
Regards, Joe

Thanks JD, I haven't messed with one prior so I figure I better ask. I will keep an eye open for the intermediate ones. Adam

So, the Mexican is an intermediate length correct? Adam

My Wisner built M96 has his own bottom metal. Not sure if he is still making them but I would give him a shout as it is fine.

Sunny Hill Enterprises and Duane Wiebe made beautiful intermediate length TG a few yrs ago. Not listed on their web sites but would be worth an inquiry.

The guard screw spacing is the same on the Mex and 96, box is just a tad differnt. We make units for the Mex, whilch can be pretty easily modified
