I need some help men.

The original alloy bottom-metal on my 1959 Pre-64 308Win is looking all of it's 50 years. So I think it's time I looked at a new trigger-guard/floor-plate, preferably steel this time.
I see this company does a "Bow Release system" in steel, which is a little different to the original. Maybe a better design?

"M70 Pre-64 One-Piece Assembly"

Would this bottom-metal work with my Pre-64 designed for a short-action?

Any other options out there?

Thanks in advance

The Williams assembly will fit on your rifle. There are no "short action" pre 64 model 70s. The bottom metal was the same for everything from 22 Hornet to 375H&H.

Sunny Hill and Blackburn make nice ones but they cost considerably more than the Williams.

Great news Mark, thanks for the info

Do they have a web site?

Unless they have it in stock you will wait a considerable amount of time for a Blackburn Unit.

I have one of the Williams units. They are extremely well made. You won't be disappointed.

The Williams unit is a great value.

I didn't mean to imply that the Williams unit wasn't as good as the others I mentioned, just less expensive. I have an action with a bad trigger guard and I plan to buy the Williams myself when I get around to doing something with it. I like the looks of the straddle floorplate that Williams is now using.
