How bad is it, is it workable into a nice unit. Does any one have the item number. I can nnot seem to find it. Is it steel or pot metal.

ramrod340Are you talking about the Mauser bottom metal?

jeffeossoI have had about 4 of these... they look okay, can be cleaned up with far more effort than it seems like they should, and each and every one of them requires careful attention to being "Bent" behind the mag box towards the trigger.
CAN be made to work, and if you are working on a 30-06 or 376, are a good pace to work from, FOR THE MONEY

724wdso jeffe, the trigger portion of the guard is bent up towards the action instead of being straight from the front action screw to the rear? not bent side to side, right?

Don MarkeyThey are over priced for the quality, I'd rather pay a little more for a 1909 guard or convert a military guard.

jeffeosso724, I've seen UP, a poster reports to the side, but I haven't seen that.
Don,
80 bucks vs (now going rate) of 150... the numrich is about the same quality, and requires the same amount of work. but, as always, it is your money
