Mag Mauser bottom metal
Our shop says the pot belly config for 98's long mag will be ready 12-1-08..I'll post photo as soon as possible...These will be suitable for up to 404 Jeff. We'll be tooling up for the Enfields the very next day

Duane, I'd like to use one of these for my 404 if it's not too late.

If Duane accepts this change order, I'll have a Blackburn long magnum unit for sale at a very reasonable price.

Hi Duane,

Can you ell me which model is going to be most suited to a 9.3x64 - the 1M or 2M? I'm not looking for a drop box configuration.

2M is a little wider, so would be the best choice

You bet they will be available...Ralf is a favorite competitor..his work is "best" quality..to have him build the rifle is a wise choice

Big Earl,
This probably isn't what you had in mind but here are photos of the 3MX bottom metal units as we finish and assemble them. I'll try to get some close-up photos in the next few days.

Here's a close-up photo of a partially finished MX3. You can see the box has not yet been opened on the bottom. We need the extra screw holes in order to hold the bottom metal in the jig while it's being shaped.



The next steps are to open the box, add the floor plate and release. After that, they'll be ready to ship.

Yep, that’s what I was hoping for. And right before Christmas to boot!

Do you have a bottom metal that will fit a CZ 550 458 Lott action?
