Overview
Built for shooters who want a sturdier replacement for the factory aluminum part, this steel bottom metal is aimed at hard-use rifles that see demanding field or range work. The Oberndorf-type floorplate latch is designed to stay secure while still allowing rapid unloading of a loaded magazine. Thicker front and rear tangs add clamping power, and the unit can be contoured to match the stock for a cleaner fit. It requires minor inletting and is made for BDL stocks, with socket head screws included.
