Where to get new bottom metal for Model 70 300 RUM that is going to soon be a 404 Jef
I would like to replace the bottom metal on a Winchester Model 70 that started life as a 300RUM. I will be creating new life for this action in the form of a 404 Jeffery. I don't care for the stock Win setup.

The average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty; and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies.

Sound Metal Poducts will be making bottom metal for your needs. Right now, bottom metal is being made for the Mauser 30-06, the next run is for the 300/375 pot belly and then the short mag.....and finally we'll be concentraing on M-70 stuff e mail me at cgrs@earthlink.net for "progress reports" Thanks Duane

One piece steel trigger guard assemblies for M70 are available from either:

http://www.williamsfirearms.com/onepiece.html

or

http://www.sunny-hill.com/products/assemblies/index.html

or go with Duane's suggestion as he participates on AR quite regularly and work quality is great.
