HunterJimDan@MRC: LH M99 bottom metal
Dan,
When my left-hand M99 ships, what bottom metal will the action have?
I am looking forward to this second action, so I have to keep busy with something.

Dan@Montana Rifle CoJim,
The bottom metal we are using now is machined locally for us. It is similar to the original design with a few improvements. The trigger bow has been narrowed out slightly to give it a better look. The nice thing is that it is done locally so we have better control over the production.

HunterJimDan,
I am building prototypes for a proposed line of PH stopping rifles, the first two M99 actions I ordered are RH (received) and LH (coming soon I hope).
Will the fit of the new bottom metal be the same as the previous bottom metal from Williams (at least it has the Williams "W" on it), or do I have to have another change to the stock pattern for the LH rifles?
thanks...jim

Dan@Montana Rifle CoJim,
No the bottom metal should be very similar in fit as the previous bottom metal. There shouldn't be a huge difference

Thanks, that is what I wanted to hear.
