Is the bootom metal sold by "GunParts" for the FN, Mauser, Parker Hale, etc part #881550 steel or alloy? Any body got one of these they want to sell?

881550

From their site.
""Incorporates the Mauser 1909 and Parker-Hale design. All-steel construction. Fits models 98, Centurion, FN, Interarms Mark X, Parker-Hale 1200 and Santa Barbara. Note: Stock or guard may require minor final fitting due to manufacturers variations. ""

I bought one from them a year or two ago and sent it back it. The one I had was junk.

I have one, and I don't like it. It is cast steel, I believe. I filed on it a bit, trying to true it up. $60.00 + shipping, and it is yours. I think it could be re-worked to make it acceptable, but it would take a LOT of work. New, larger pins and a new release lever, etc.

its cast, requires work, but for 60-70 bucks, aren't bad

I bought one of those back in 2000 or 2001 when they first finally came out. They were listed for a longtime before they ever sold any. They are cast steel. Mine was very crude. I took it with me to the NRA Convention in Pittsburgh, PA, whatever year it was there, 2002 perhaps? I showed it to the Numrich rep and he told me that it must have been a pre-production sample that got into the supply chain. They sent me a better one. I find it kind of odd that they still have bad ones slipping through????
