They aren't necessarily a drop-in fit. Proper clearances have to be established at the right places. The rear handguards are thick and may need to be skimmed down on the inner surface. Front handguards are'nt fully inletted to allow the rear of the handguard line to seat properly. You need to make sure there is adequate clearance for the "tail" of the clip latch and rear face of the firing pin. It's easier to remove wood than to add it though.
Trigger guard lock up can be very tight. Rather than remove wood from the horizontal seats for the trigger housing, you can swap in a used trigger guard with worn locking lugs.

There was no option when I ordered mine, I was repeating what someone else had said on the matter.
Theyre just under 100 bucks, I think it was around $130 US with shipping
Thanks Purple, I followed all of your advice when fitting mine, it needed attention in all the areas you mentioned. Really not much work, but well worth it.They aren't necessarily a drop-in fit.

Got one on mine, and the action dropped right in.
Good thing I looked at this thread I nearly forgot that I have a new stock set that has to be installed on my 308 M1. I bought it last year or the year before. I will have the guy I bought it from finish and install on my M1.
